WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why json_arrpop needs a policy

Popping a value from an array modifies data by removing an element. While 'pop' could be considered destructive in some contexts, array modifications in a data structure are typically reversible (the value can be re-inserted), placing this in the Write category. The severity is medium as misuse could corrupt configuration or assessment data.
