Get a specific SOBR by ID.
AI agents call GetScaleOutRepository 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 performs a simple read operation to retrieve information about a Scale-Out Backup Repository (SOBR) identified by its ID. It queries existing data without modifying, deleting, or executing operations. The low severity reflects that reading backup repository configuration data poses minimal risk even if misused by an agent.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'GetScaleOutRepository' and description 'Get a specific SOBR by ID' indicate data retrieval with no modification or side effects.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Get a specific SOBR by ID. 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 GetScaleOutRepository: 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.
GetScaleOutRepository 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 GetScaleOutRepository 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 GetScaleOutRepository. 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.
GetScaleOutRepository 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.
