WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why esm_msk_policy needs a policy

The description is empty and the tool name is ambiguous. 'ESM' could refer to event source mapping, 'MSK' likely refers to Amazon MSK (Managed Streaming for Kafka), and 'policy' suggests IAM or resource policy management. Without a description, it's impossible to determine if this reads, writes, or modifies policies. Confidence is very low; defaulting to Other.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'esm_msk_policy' and empty description provide no actionable information about what the tool does.
