AI-powered Veeam Backup & Replication operations with a built-in governance harness — unified audit log, policy engine, token/runaway budget guard, undo-token recording, and graduated-autonomy risk tiers. Self-contained: no external dependencies beyond httpx and the MCP SDK. Preview — not yet full coverage of every Veeam operation.

What works

• CLI (veeam-aiops ...): job list/get/start/stop/enable/disable, restore list-points/start, repository list, session list/get, backup list, doctor, mcp.

• MCP server (veeam-aiops mcp or veeam-aiops-mcp): 12 tools (8 read, 4 write), every one wrapped with the bundled @governed_tool harness.

• Reversibility: write ops with a clean inverse (job start/stop, enable/disable) record an inverse undo descriptor; the irreversible VM restore declares none and is tagged high risk.

• Async sessions: Veeam jobs and restores run as sessions — poll progress with session list / session get (the runaway budget guard prevents poll loops from running away).

Quick start

uv tool install veeam-aiops
mkdir -p ~/.veeam-aiops
# create ~/.veeam-aiops/config.yaml with a targets: list
# put passwords in ~/.veeam-aiops/.env  (chmod 600)
veeam-aiops doctor

Example ~/.veeam-aiops/config.yaml:

targets:
  - name: vbr-lab
    host: 10.0.0.20
    username: "DOMAIN\\backup-admin"
    port: 9419
    verify_ssl: false          # self-signed lab certs only

~/.veeam-aiops/.env (chmod 600): VEEAM_VBR_LAB_PASSWORD=<password>

Audit & safety

All operations are logged to a local SQLite audit DB under ~/.veeam-aiops/ (relocatable via VEEAM_AIOPS_HOME). Every write tool passes through the governance harness: policy pre-check, token/runaway budget guard, graduated risk-tier gate, and audit logging. Destructive CLI commands (job stop, restore start) require double confirmation and support --dry-run. API-returned text is run through a prompt-injection sanitizer.
