AI agents call dokploy_list_backup_files to retrieve information from Dokploy without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves and enumerates backup file metadata without modifying, deleting, or executing anything. The search parameter filters results but does not change any state. The blast radius of misuse is minimal—an attacker could discover what backups exist but cannot restore them, delete them, or access their contents through this tool alone.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'list_backup_files' and description 'List backup files at a destination' indicate a retrieval operation. The description explicitly states it 'Returns up to 100 matching files', confirming a read-only query with no side effects.
