## Facts

- Tool: `RequestAuthentication`
- Server: Veeam VBR v13 MCP Server (`kid-boy/veeam-mcp-13`) — https://policylayer.com/tools/kid-boy-veeam-mcp-13.md
- Homepage: https://github.com/kid-boy/veeam-mcp-13
- Risk category: Read (Low risk)
- Registry record: grade F, identity unverified
- Server rate-limited: no
- Parameters: 0
- Recommended policy verdict: Allowed

## Example call (MCP tools/call, JSON-RPC 2.0)

```json
{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "id": 1,
  "method": "tools/call",
  "params": {
    "name": "RequestAuthentication",
    "arguments": {}
  }
}
```

## Why RequestAuthentication is rated Low

This tool retrieves authentication information, which is fundamentally a Read operation (query/fetch). However, severity is high because exposure of authentication credentials to an unauthorized or compromised AI agent could enable lateral movement, unauthorized access to cloud resources, and privilege escalation across the Veeam infrastructure and connected Google Cloud environments.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'RequestAuthentication' and description 'Get Google Cloud authentication information' indicate retrieval of authentication credentials or tokens without modification."

## Use case

AI agents call RequestAuthentication to retrieve information from Veeam VBR v13 MCP Server without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer)

Verdict: **Allowed**. Enforced by the PolicyLayer MCP gateway (https://policylayer.com/mcp-gateway) before a call reaches Veeam VBR v13 MCP Server:

```json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "RequestAuthentication": {}
  }
}
```
