WHAT IT DOES

What EnableProxy does on Veeam VBR v13 MCP Server

WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why EnableProxy needs a policy

Enabling a proxy modifies backup infrastructure configuration reversibly—the proxy can be disabled or replaced. This is not destructive (can be undone) and not financial.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'EnableProxy' and description 'Enable a backup proxy for use in backup jobs' indicates modification of backup infrastructure configuration. This is a write operation that changes system state by enabling a proxy resource for operational use.
