What RevokeInstanceLicense does on Veeam VBR v13 MCP Server
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.
Why RevokeInstanceLicense is rated Critical
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.

The rule that runs RevokeInstanceLicense safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Veeam VBR v13 MCP Server, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For RevokeInstanceLicense, this is the rule to start with:
RevokeInstanceLicense is removed from the agent's tool list entirely, so the agent never calls it. The rest of the server keeps working.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Veeam VBR v13 MCP Server, apply this rule, and every RevokeInstanceLicense call is checked against it from then on.
