Maintenance

Recovery decisions

  • Before restoring, compare the chosen recovery point with newer business records. Old deadline copy can remain searchable after the season. Use the xCloud dashboard for native restore only after the owner approves target and scope; reconcile or preserve newer data first.

  • Validate the restored copy with representative content, authentication, HTTPS and this guide’s business acceptance test before moving traffic or closing the incident.

AI handoff

Connect xCloud MCP through the current documented profile and grant only the scopes needed for the selected team. Discover tool schemas first. Read resources to plan; require approval for any supported write. Use returned dashboard URLs for manual work. The packaged REST wrapper accepts GET requests only.

Supported scope

  • Confirm requirements and inspect resources mcp · read

    Discover the connected profile and operation schema first; only teams granted to the connection are visible.

    Checkpoint: Confirm exact team, server and site identity. Use dashboard_url returned by the resource; do not invent a dashboard link.

    Operation identifiers and scopes to discover

    teams.index, servers.show, sites.show

    Scopes: read:servers, read:sites

    xCloud MCP documentation and connection profiles · xCloud agent capability boundaries

  • Review a WordPress business journey app · manual

    Application data and observed transactions cannot be inferred from xCloud resource reads. Use authorized test accounts and the application or provider evidence.

    Checkpoint: Record the test identity, timestamp, expected outcome, observed result and owner decision.

    WordPress roles and capabilities

  • Configure WordPress content, users and selected plugins app · manual

    Requires a named WordPress administrator or suitable editor. Plugin behavior, commercial license, payment, email and external integration are verified in the chosen vendor documentation and application; xCloud hosting or MCP reads do not configure them.

    Checkpoint: Open the actual WordPress or selected plugin interface, record the version and role, and have the business owner accept a real user journey.

Manual checkpoints

  • The named WordPress, app, dashboard or provider administrator performs the guide’s actual configuration step: Link to the firm's approved document portal without collecting files in a generic website form; restrict WordPress editing to communications staff.
  • The business owner compares the controlled sample with this observable result: The right staff receives only permitted contact data.
  • Staging push/pull, native backup schedules, restores and cache-setting edits require the authorized xCloud dashboard operator; the packaged REST wrapper is GET-only.
