WHAT IT DOES

What restore-backup does on Laravel Forge

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

RISK

Why restore-backup is rated Medium

An AI agent can call restore-backup faster than any human can review: one bad instruction and it creates or modifies resources in Laravel Forge by the hundred, each call as confident as the last.

Attacks that exploit this kind of access

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs restore-backup safely

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

restore-backup Rate-limited

restore-backup 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.

View as policy code

policy.json

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "restore-backup": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "restore-backup_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 30,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

LIMIT THIS TOOL → Instant setup, no code required.

The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Laravel Forge, apply this rule, and every restore-backup call is checked against it from then on.
