What UpgradeAgentOnDiscoveredEntities does on Veeam VBR v13 MCP Server

WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why UpgradeAgentOnDiscoveredEntities needs a policy

Upgrading agents on discovered entities is an external operation that executes changes across infrastructure components. It is not a simple write (reversible data modification) nor purely destructive, but it triggers execution of installation/upgrade processes on remote systems. Misuse could affect many endpoints simultaneously, resulting in high blast radius if applied to unintended targets or if the upgrade fails.
