Get a specific WAN accelerator by ID.
AI agents call GetWANAccelerator 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 a WAN accelerator configuration/status by ID. It is a read-only query operation with no capability to modify, delete, or execute actions. The blast radius of misuse is minimal—an AI agent could retrieve accelerator details but cannot alter infrastructure or cause harm through this tool alone.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'GetWANAccelerator' and description 'Get a specific WAN accelerator by ID' indicate a retrieval operation that queries infrastructure metadata without modification or side effects.

Register the Veeam VBR v13 MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for GetWANAccelerator: 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.
GetWANAccelerator 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 GetWANAccelerator 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 GetWANAccelerator. 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.
GetWANAccelerator 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.
