WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why sorted_set_range needs a policy

The description is empty, making classification highly uncertain. The name 'sorted_set_range' suggests a read-like operation (range query on a sorted set, similar to Redis ZRANGE), but in the context of AWS IoT SiteWise this is ambiguous. Without any description, confidence is very low. Defaulting to Other due to insufficient information, though Read would be the next best guess.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'sorted_set_range' and empty description provide no actionable information about what the tool does in the context of AWS IoT SiteWise.
