WHAT IT DOES

What update_backup_job does on Proxmox MCP Server

RISK

Why update_backup_job is rated Medium

The tool performs a write operation—updating existing backup job configuration. While the empty description reduces confidence slightly, the naming pattern combined with the Proxmox context (where backup jobs are configuration objects that can be modified without permanent loss) places this in the Write category.

From the tool's definition Tool name is 'update_backup_job' with an empty description. Based on naming convention and context within a Proxmox infrastructure management server, this tool modifies backup job configuration.
