WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why GetSupportedFileTypes needs a policy

The tool name strongly suggests retrieving a list or set of supported file types, which is a read-only query with no side effects. Without a description, confidence is moderate rather than high. This poses minimal risk even if misused by an AI agent—at worst, it returns unwanted information rather than causing destructive or financial harm.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'GetSupportedFileTypes' indicates a query/retrieval operation that fetches supported file types. No description provided to confirm scope.
