Revoke an instance license from a workload.
AI agents call RevokeInstanceLicense to permanently remove resources in Veeam VBR v13 MCP Server — typically in cleanup and lifecycle workflows. It does its job in a single call, and there is no undo.
Revoking a license is a destructive action that removes a workload's ability to be backed up or protected. While a license can theoretically be reassigned, the act of revocation immediately disables functionality and the revocation itself cannot be undone — a new assignment action is required. The blast radius is high because misuse could leave critical workloads unprotected without backup coverage.
From the tool's definition 'Revoke an instance license from a workload' — revoking a license removes an assigned entitlement, which is typically irreversible without reassignment and disables backup/protection functionality for that workload.

Register the Veeam VBR v13 MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for RevokeInstanceLicense: 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.
RevokeInstanceLicense is a Destructive tool with critical risk. Critical-risk tools should be blocked by default and only enabled with explicit human approval.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the RevokeInstanceLicense 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 RevokeInstanceLicense. 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.
RevokeInstanceLicense 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.
