Get all global VM exclusions (VMs excluded from all jobs).
AI agents call GetAllGlobalVMExclusions to retrieve information from Veeam VBR v13 MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool queries and retrieves configuration data about excluded VMs from a backup system. It performs no modifications, deletions, or external operations. The blast radius of misuse is minimal—an attacker gains visibility into backup exclusion policies but cannot alter them, trigger backups, or compromise data. Appropriate for Read category with low severity.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'GetAll...' and description 'Get all global VM exclusions' indicate a retrieval operation with no side effects. The verb 'Get' and lack of any modification language confirm read-only semantics.

GetAllGlobalVMExclusions is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the GetAllGlobalVMExclusions 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.
