## Example call (MCP tools/call, JSON-RPC 2.0)

```json
{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",

  "method": "tools/call",
  "params": {
    "name": "GetAllProtectionGroups",

## Why GetAllProtectionGroups is rated Low

This tool queries and retrieves protection group data from Veeam Backup & Replication infrastructure. The verb 'Get' and the read-only nature of listing protection groups classify this as a Read operation. Low severity because listing backup protection groups poses minimal risk; an AI agent using this tool can only view backup configuration metadata without the ability to modify, execute, or delete backups.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'GetAllProtectionGroups' and description 'Get all protection groups' indicate a retrieval operation with no modification or side effects."

## Use case

AI agents call GetAllProtectionGroups to retrieve information from Veeam VBR v13 MCP Server without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer)

Verdict: **Allowed**. Enforced by the PolicyLayer MCP gateway (https://policylayer.com/mcp-gateway) before a call reaches Veeam VBR v13 MCP Server:

```json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
