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

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

## Why RescanInventoryObjects is rated High

Rescanning inventory objects initiates an active operation on a host to rediscover and update inventory state. This is not a passive read; it triggers external processing on the target host. It is not destructive or financial, but it executes an operational task whose effects (updated inventory, potential state changes) depend on the target host's configuration.

From the tool's own definition: "'Rescan inventory objects on a specific host' — triggers an active rescan/discovery operation against a host, which is an external operation with side effects beyond simple data retrieval"

## Use case

AI agents invoke RescanInventoryObjects to trigger actions in Veeam VBR v13 MCP Server. What it does depends on the arguments the agent supplies, and its effects often reach beyond the immediate call: builds kicked off, notifications sent, workflows started.
