Why random_number needs a policy

This is a stateless computation tool that returns a value without querying, modifying, deleting, or executing external systems. It has no blast radius if misused by an AI agent, as it cannot affect data, systems, or financial transactions. Categorized as Read (computation with no side effects) rather than Other, as it still produces deterministic output within specified parameters.

From the tool's definition Tool generates a random number within a range with no side effects, data retrieval, or external operations. The description indicates a pure computation function: 'Generate a random number within a range.'
