Restore a CCX datastore from a backup. This is a DESTRUCTIVE operation that replaces current data with the backup contents. Use ccx_list_backups first to find available backup IDs. Blocked by protection mode (CCX_PROTECT) by default.
AI agents call ccx_restore_backup to permanently remove resources in Severalnines CCX MCP Server — typically in cleanup and lifecycle workflows. It does its job in a single call, and there is no undo.
Restoring from a backup overwrites all current data in the datastore with the backup contents. Any data written after the backup was taken is permanently lost. The tool itself labels this a DESTRUCTIVE operation and notes it is blocked by a protection mode by default, indicating the authors recognize the high risk.
From the tool's definition 'This is a DESTRUCTIVE operation that replaces current data with the backup contents' — explicitly labeled destructive, overwrites existing data irreversibly
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Restore a CCX datastore from a backup. This is a DESTRUCTIVE operation that replaces current data with the backup contents. Use ccx_list_backups first to find available backup IDs. Blocked by protection mode (CCX_PROTECT) by default. It is categorised as a Destructive tool in the Severalnines CCX MCP Server MCP Server, which means it can permanently delete or destroy data. Block by default and require explicit approval.
Register the Severalnines CCX MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for ccx_restore_backup: 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_restore_backup is a Destructive tool with critical risk. Critical-risk tools should be blocked by default and only enabled with explicit human approval.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the ccx_restore_backup 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_restore_backup. 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_restore_backup 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.
