What DisableProxy does on Veeam VBR v13 MCP Server
AI agents use DisableProxy 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 DisableProxy is rated Medium
Disabling a backup proxy changes its operational state in a reversible way (it can be re-enabled), placing it in the Write category. However, the blast radius is high because disabling a proxy could interrupt ongoing backup or restore jobs, potentially causing data protection failures across the infrastructure.
From the tool's definition 'Disable a backup proxy' — disabling a proxy modifies its state but does not irreversibly delete it; it can presumably be re-enabled.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs DisableProxy 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 DisableProxy, this is the rule to start with:
DisableProxy stays usable, but capped: an agent stuck in a loop can't make hundreds of changes a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Veeam VBR v13 MCP Server, apply this rule, and every DisableProxy call is checked against it from then on.
Questions about DisableProxy
Disable a backup proxy. It is categorised as a Write tool in the Veeam VBR v13 MCP Server MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.
Register the Veeam VBR v13 MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for DisableProxy: 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.
DisableProxy is a Write tool with medium risk. Write tools should be rate-limited to prevent accidental bulk modifications.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the DisableProxy 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 DisableProxy. 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.
DisableProxy 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.
