WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why CreateCloudCreds needs a policy

This tool creates new cloud credentials, which modifies the Veeam backup infrastructure configuration. While reversible (credentials can be deleted), misuse could allow an AI agent to create unauthorized cloud credentials with attacker-controlled secrets, enabling credential theft, unauthorized cloud access, or persistence mechanisms.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'CreateCloudCreds' and description 'Add a new cloud credentials record' indicate creation of new data (cloud credential records) which is a reversible write operation. This is a state-changing action that adds configuration.
