Are there any issues with allowing the KLMS Agent app (part of Samsung KNOX) to be restricted by Data Saver?

I use the "Data Saver" feature to extend battery life and to prevent/reduce apps from accessing the internet when the phone/tablet is sleeping and when they are not supposed to be running. Note that I'm not sure if that feature is an Android or OEM feature. To accomplish this, I go to: Settings > Apps > Special Access > Allow app while Data Saver on > Show system apps and deselect every app... currently with the sole exception of KLMS Agent. The only reason I do not deselect KLMS Agent is because I do not fully understand its purpose, and if there are any consequences of preventing it from being "allowed" while Data Saver is on. From what I've researched, KLMS Agent is part of KNOX security, which is pre-installed on most (all?) Samsung Android devices. I've read a bit about KNOX, and I've never had the time to fully understand all of the details about it. Plus, I think it's closed-source, which makes it almost impossible to truly fully understand. Are there any downsides or issues with ***deselecting*** KLMS Agent in the Allow app while Data Saver on list, thus allowing KLMS Agent to be restricted by Data Saver?
