WHAT IT DOES

What DeleteBackup does on Veeam VBR v13 MCP 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.

RISK

Why DeleteBackup is rated Critical

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.

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs DeleteBackup safely

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Veeam VBR v13 MCP Server, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For DeleteBackup, this is the rule to start with:

DeleteBackup Hidden

DeleteBackup is removed from the agent's tool list entirely, so the agent never calls it. The rest of the server keeps working.
