WHAT IT DOES

What gcnv_replication_reverse_direction does on Google Cloud NetApp Volumes MCP Server

AI agents invoke gcnv_replication_reverse_direction to trigger actions in Google Cloud NetApp Volumes 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.

WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why gcnv_replication_reverse_direction needs a policy

Reversing replication direction is an operational action that triggers an external replication reconfiguration — it changes which endpoint is source vs. destination. This is not a simple data read or write, but an execution of a significant infrastructure operation. It can cause data flow changes and potentially disrupt ongoing replication, making it high severity.
