WHAT IT DOES

What ChangeEncryptionPassword does on Veeam VBR v13 MCP Server

WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why ChangeEncryptionPassword needs a policy

This tool changes an encryption password, which is a reversible modification (Write). However, it carries high severity because changing encryption passwords in a backup infrastructure like Veeam could render encrypted backups inaccessible or compromise security controls. Misuse by an AI agent could lock out legitimate users from their backup data or expose sensitive credentials.
