StopAutomationSession

What StopAutomationSession does on Veeam VBR v13 MCP Server

AI agents invoke StopAutomationSession 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.

Why StopAutomationSession is rated High

Stopping an automation session is an Execute action because it triggers an external operation (termination of a running process) whose effects depend on what that session is performing. While not destructive (the session can be restarted), it interrupts active backup, recovery, or replication workflows in a Veeam infrastructure, potentially impacting data protection operations.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'StopAutomationSession' and description 'Stop a running automation session' indicate termination of an active process or operation. The action interrupts an ongoing system operation, which is a form of execution control with external effects.

The rule that runs StopAutomationSession 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 StopAutomationSession, this is the rule to start with:

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "StopAutomationSession": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "stopautomationsession_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 10,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}
