Delete a backup dataset from the Veeam Backup server.
AI agents call DeleteBackup to permanently remove resources in Veeam VBR v13 MCP Server — typically in cleanup and lifecycle workflows. It does its job in a single call, and there is no undo.
Deletion of backup datasets is a destructive action that cannot be undone. Once a backup is deleted from the Veeam server, the backup data is lost and recovery becomes impossible. This represents an irreversible loss of data with potentially severe consequences (inability to restore systems, compliance violations, data loss).
From the tool's definition Tool name 'DeleteBackup' with description 'Delete a backup dataset from the Veeam Backup server' explicitly performs deletion of backup data, an irreversible operation.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Delete a backup dataset from the Veeam Backup server. It is categorised as a Destructive tool in the Veeam VBR v13 MCP Server MCP Server, which means it can permanently delete or destroy data. Block by default and require explicit approval.
Register the Veeam VBR v13 MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for DeleteBackup: allow, deny, rate-limit, or require approval. Point your MCP client at the PolicyLayer proxy URL and the rule is enforced on every call, before it reaches Veeam VBR v13 MCP Server. Nothing to install.
DeleteBackup is a Destructive tool with critical risk. Critical-risk tools should be blocked by default and only enabled with explicit human approval.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the DeleteBackup rule in your PolicyLayer policy. For example, setting max: 10 and window: 60 limits the tool to 10 calls per minute. Rate limits are tracked per agent session and reset automatically.
Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for DeleteBackup. The AI agent will receive a policy violation error and cannot call the tool. You can also include a reason field to explain why the tool is blocked.
DeleteBackup is provided by the Veeam VBR v13 MCP Server MCP server (kid-boy/veeam-mcp-13). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
