Microsoft Defender update for Windows operating system installation images - Signature Update

Hi I am reading the Microsoft Defender update for Windows operating system installation images

https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/topic/microsoft-defender-update-for-windows-operating-system-installation-images-1c89630b-61ff-00a1-04e2-2d1f3865450d

What is the update frequency of signature in this tool?

We need to make sure our VHD has signature less 7 days old, so I am wondering if I can run this tool weekly to meet the requirement.

Sorry I mean the tool provided here: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/topic/microsoft-defender-update-for-windows-operating-system-installation-images-1c89630b-61ff-00a1-04e2-2d1f3865450d

This tool runs against the system image. It's said the update frequency for the package is monthly, but since Signature itself should be updated at least several times a day, I want to know if the signature will also be updated daily

Comparing the signature versions between the two it looks like a no.
Signature version: 1.343.658.0
Version: 1.343.888.0
