What CreateGlobalVMExclusion does on Veeam VBR v13 MCP Server

WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why CreateGlobalVMExclusion needs a policy

This tool creates a new exclusion rule in backup configuration. While this modifies infrastructure state and could reduce backup coverage if misused (potentially hiding critical VMs from backups), the action is reversible—the exclusion can be removed. This makes it Write rather than Destructive.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'CreateGlobalVMExclusion' and description 'Add a VM to the global exclusion list' indicate creation/modification of backup configuration state. The action modifies the global exclusion list by adding an entry, which is a reversible write operation.
