WHAT IT DOES

What reset_load_balancer_rule does on CloudStack MCP Server

WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why reset_load_balancer_rule needs a policy

Resetting statistics modifies/clears data (counters/metrics) but does not delete the rule itself or cause irreversible infrastructure changes. This is a reversible write-like operation that resets accumulated statistics, similar to clearing a counter. Severity is medium because clearing LB rule statistics could affect monitoring, auditing, and capacity planning decisions.
