WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why abuseipdb_report_ip needs a policy

This tool submits a report to an external service (AbuseIPDB), which creates new data on a third-party platform. It is a write operation — posting information — rather than purely reading. Misuse could result in false reports being filed against innocent IP addresses, which could affect their reputation, but the action is technically reversible/disputable on the platform side.
