Why recommend_indexes_account needs a policy

The tool name suggests it returns recommendations for database indexes at an account level, which is typically a read-only analysis operation. However, the empty description reduces confidence. The 'recommend' verb implies analysis rather than modification, and it fits alongside sibling analysis tools. Without evidence of side effects, treating as Read is most conservative.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'recommend_indexes_account' suggests a recommendation/analysis function. No description provided to clarify behavior.

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "recommend_indexes_account": {}
  }
