Get the current real-time state (running, idle, warning, etc.) for all jobs.
AI agents call GetAllJobsStates 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 retrieves and queries the current status of backup jobs without performing any side effects, modifications, or triggering external operations. It is purely informational monitoring functionality typical of Read category tools. The blast radius is minimal—exposing job state information could inform an attacker about backup infrastructure, but cannot directly cause harm or trigger unintended operations.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'GetAllJobsStates' and description 'Get the current real-time state (running, idle, warning, etc.) for all jobs' indicate a retrieval operation.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Get the current real-time state (running, idle, warning, etc.) for all jobs. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Veeam VBR v13 MCP Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Veeam VBR v13 MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for GetAllJobsStates: 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.
GetAllJobsStates 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 GetAllJobsStates 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 GetAllJobsStates. 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.
GetAllJobsStates 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.
