List database backup configurations (across the account)
AI agents call list_database_backups to retrieve information from Ploi 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 existing database backup configurations without creating, modifying, or deleting any data. It has no side effects and only queries information. This is a classic Read operation with minimal risk—an AI agent cannot cause harm by listing backups, only potentially expose information about existing backups if output is mishandled elsewhere.
From the tool's definition Tool name contains 'list' and description states 'List database backup configurations'. The verb 'list' indicates retrieval/query operation with no modification or deletion of data.

Register the Ploi MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for list_database_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 Ploi MCP Server. Nothing to install.
list_database_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 list_database_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 list_database_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.
list_database_backups is provided by the Ploi MCP Server MCP server (sudanese/ploi-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
