What AddDatastoreLatency does on Veeam VBR v13 MCP Server

WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why AddDatastoreLatency needs a policy

This tool modifies datastore configuration by adding latency settings, which is a reversible write operation. It does not delete data (not Destructive), does not execute arbitrary code (not Execute), and does not involve financial transactions (not Financial). While it could impact backup performance if misconfigured, the blast radius is limited to datastore configuration settings that can be adjusted or removed.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'AddDatastoreLatency' and description 'Add latency settings for a specific datastore' indicate the tool creates or modifies configuration settings.
