## Why ViVMSnapshotReplicaPermanentFailover is rated High

While 'permanent failover' might seem destructive, it is fundamentally an Execute action: it triggers a complex orchestration operation (failover) whose effects depend on the replica state and infrastructure configuration, rather than directly deleting or overwriting data.

From the tool's own definition: "ViVMSnapshotReplicaPermanentFailover starts a permanent failover operation for VMware vSphere snapshot replicas."

## Use case

AI agents invoke ViVMSnapshotReplicaPermanentFailover to trigger actions in Veeam VBR v13 MCP Server. What it does depends on the arguments the agent supplies, and its effects often reach beyond the immediate call: builds kicked off, notifications sent, workflows started.
