WHAT IT DOES

What DisableJob does on Veeam VBR v13 MCP Server

AI agents use DisableJob 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 IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why DisableJob needs a policy

DisableJob modifies the enabled/disabled state of a backup job, which is a reversible change to system configuration. This falls under Write (creates or modifies data reversibly) rather than Execute or Destructive because: (1) no code execution or external operations triggered, (2) the change is reversible via EnableJob, (3) it affects backup job scheduling behavior.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'DisableJob' and description 'Disable a job (prevents scheduled execution)' indicates modification of job state/configuration.
