What list_backups does on Memory MCP Server

AI agents call list_backups to retrieve information from Memory MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

Why list_backups needs a policy

The tool performs a straightforward enumeration of backup files, which is a read-only operation that retrieves data without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing anything. Even in the context of a memory management system, listing backups is non-destructive information retrieval. The low severity reflects that knowing what backups exist poses minimal risk unless combined with other tools like delete_backup.

From the tool's definition Tool name is 'list_backups' and description translates to 'List available backup files'. This retrieves or queries information about existing backups with no side effects or modifications.
