Get objects (VMs, servers) contained in a specific backup.
AI agents call GetBackupObjectsWithFiltering 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 information about backup contents (VMs and servers) without modifying, deleting, or executing any operations. It is a pure read operation that queries existing backup metadata. The filtering capability does not change this classification—it remains a retrieval function.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'GetBackupObjectsWithFiltering' and description 'Get objects (VMs, servers) contained in a specific backup' indicate a query/retrieval operation with no side effects.
