What ChangeKMServerCertificate does on Veeam VBR v13 MCP Server
AI agents use ChangeKMServerCertificate to create or update resources in Veeam VBR v13 MCP Server, usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Veeam VBR v13 MCP Server environment.
Why ChangeKMServerCertificate is rated Medium
This tool modifies the certificate associated with a Key Management Server (KMS). While it's a reversible write operation (the certificate can be changed again), misuse could disrupt encryption key management for backup infrastructure, potentially breaking backup/restore operations or exposing sensitive data. The blast radius is high because KMS underpins encryption across the Veeam backup infrastructure.
