WHEN AI AGENTS USE THIS TOOL

AI agents use manage_notification_subscription to initiate financial transactions through GitHub. Financial operations involve real money and are irreversible once processed. Intercept blocks financial tools by default, requiring explicit human approval with transaction-level limits to prevent unauthorised spending.

WHY ENFORCE A POLICY ON MANAGE_NOTIFICATION_SUBSCRIPTION
