WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why update_product_photo needs a policy

This tool creates or modifies product data by updating the photo field. It is reversible (a new photo can be uploaded to replace the modified one), making it Write rather than Destructive. The blast radius is moderate: an AI agent could deface product listings or inject misleading imagery, affecting sales and customer trust, but the action is undoable.

From the tool's definition Tool description states 'Replace or add a photo on an existing product from a public URL' — modifies product data (photo) without permanent deletion or reversal constraints typical of Destructive actions.
