WHAT IT DOES

What update_printer_side does on 智睦云打印

WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why update_printer_side needs a policy

This tool modifies existing printer settings (simplex/duplex mode) but does not delete data or execute arbitrary code. The change is reversible by updating the setting again. While it affects printing behavior, the impact is limited to printer configuration parameters within a printing context, making it a Write operation rather than Execute or Destructive.

From the tool's definition Tool description states "Update simplex or duplex settings for an existing roaming task" — this modifies printer configuration parameters for an active printing task, changing how the task will execute.
