Get configuration backup settings (schedule, repository, encryption).
AI agents call GetConfigBackupOptions 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 backup configuration metadata including schedule, repository location, and encryption settings. While it is a Read operation (no side effects), the severity is elevated to 'medium' because the returned information includes sensitive infrastructure details (encryption keys/settings, repository locations, and backup schedules) that could be exploited by an attacker to identify backup…
