WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why UpdateStorageLatencySettings needs a policy

This tool modifies storage latency control settings in a Veeam backup infrastructure. While the change is reversible (can be edited again), misconfiguration could degrade backup performance, affect recovery operations, or impact SLAs. The high severity reflects the potential operational impact on critical backup systems, though it does not delete data (Destructive), execute code (Execute), or move money (Financial).

From the tool's definition Tool name 'UpdateStorageLatencySettings' and description 'Edit storage latency control settings' indicate modification of existing configuration data. The 'Update' verb and 'Edit' action confirm reversible data modification.
