WHAT IT DOES

What mikrotik_set_vrrp_priority does on MikroTik Cursor MCP

WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why mikrotik_set_vrrp_priority needs a policy

Setting VRRP priority changes which router acts as the master in a VRRP group, potentially causing failover and traffic disruption. This is a configuration write operation on network infrastructure. While reversible (priority can be changed back), misuse could cause network outages by inadvertently promoting or demoting the master router, hence high severity.
