WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why find_opportunities needs a policy

This tool executes complex multi-model algorithmic analysis across broad market data in response to arbitrary natural language input, generating actionable trading signals. While it does not directly place trades or move money, it produces buy/sell/hold recommendations that could directly drive financial decisions. The open-ended 'natural language queries' input increases risk of misuse or unintended scope.

From the tool's definition 'Find trading opportunities' and 'natural language queries' — triggers algorithmic analysis across all stocks using ARIMA, ARIMA-GARCH, and XGBoost models to generate buy/sell/hold signals
