WHAT IT DOES

What restore_project does on Supabase

AI agents use restore_project to create or update resources in Supabase, usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Supabase environment.

Parameter	Type	Required	Description
`project_id`	string	—

Parameters from the server's own tool schema.

RISK

Why restore_project is rated Medium

Restoring a project overwrites the current state with a previous snapshot, which is a significant write/overwrite operation. It could be considered destructive to the current state, but 'restore' typically implies recovery rather than deletion. However, it irreversibly replaces current data with restored data, pushing this toward high severity.

From the tool's definition 'Restores a Supabase project' — the word 'restore' implies bringing a project back to a prior state

Attacks that exploit this kind of access

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs restore_project safely

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Supabase, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For restore_project, this is the rule to start with:

restore_project Rate-limited

restore_project stays usable, but capped: an agent stuck in a loop can't make hundreds of changes a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Supabase, apply this rule, and every restore_project call is checked against it from then on.

How do I enforce a policy on restore_project? +

Register the Supabase MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for restore_project: 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 Supabase. Nothing to install.

What risk level is restore_project? +

restore_project is a Write tool with medium risk. Write tools should be rate-limited to prevent accidental bulk modifications.

Can I rate-limit restore_project? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the restore_project 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.

How do I block restore_project completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for restore_project. 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.

What MCP server provides restore_project? +

restore_project is provided by the Supabase MCP server (@modelcontextprotocol/server-supabase). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
