Get all VMware vSphere servers (vCenter, ESXi hosts) in the inventory.
AI agents call GetAllInventoryVmwareHosts 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 returns inventory information about VMware infrastructure (vCenter and ESXi hosts). It is purely informational with no side effects, no code execution, and no data modification. The action is passive data retrieval, fitting squarely in the Read category.
