Get information about socket license consumption.
AI agents call GetLicensedSockets 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 reports on license metrics—specifically socket license consumption—which is a read-only informational query. No data is modified, deleted, or executed; it merely surfaces monitoring/reporting information about the backup infrastructure's licensing state. This is characteristic of Read category operations and poses minimal risk as an AI misuse vector.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'GetLicensedSockets' and description 'Get information about socket license consumption' indicate a retrieval operation that queries existing license data without modification, creation, deletion, or execution of external operations.

Get information about socket license consumption. 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 GetLicensedSockets: 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.
GetLicensedSockets 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 GetLicensedSockets 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 GetLicensedSockets. 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.
GetLicensedSockets 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.
