Why report_order_approved needs a policy

This tool updates the status of an order to 'approved', which is a reversible write operation modifying order state. While it operates in a financial context (payment protocol server), it does not itself move money or commit financial obligations — it only records/reports an approval status. The incomplete description ('status=') slightly lowers confidence, but the core action is a status update (Write).

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "report_order_approved": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "report_order_approved_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 30,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}
