List available backups for a CCX datastore. Use this to check backup history, find a backup to restore, or verify that backups are running successfully.
AI agents call ccx_list_backups to retrieve information from Severalnines CCX MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves and displays backup metadata without modifying, deleting, or executing any operations. It is purely informational and carries minimal risk if misused by an AI agent, as the worst outcome would be unnecessary queries or information disclosure about existing backups.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'ccx_list_backups' and description 'List available backups' indicate a retrieval operation with no side effects.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
List available backups for a CCX datastore. Use this to check backup history, find a backup to restore, or verify that backups are running successfully. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Severalnines CCX MCP Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Severalnines CCX MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for ccx_list_backups: allow, deny, rate-limit, or require approval. Point your MCP client at the PolicyLayer proxy URL and the rule is enforced on every call, before it reaches Severalnines CCX MCP Server. Nothing to install.
ccx_list_backups is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the ccx_list_backups rule in your PolicyLayer policy. For example, setting max: 10 and window: 60 limits the tool to 10 calls per minute. Rate limits are tracked per agent session and reset automatically.
Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for ccx_list_backups. The AI agent will receive a policy violation error and cannot call the tool. You can also include a reason field to explain why the tool is blocked.
ccx_list_backups is provided by the Severalnines CCX MCP Server MCP server (severalnines/ccx-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
