WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why add_to_blacklist needs a policy

This tool creates or modifies campaign data (the blacklist) in a reversible manner. While it affects ad delivery, it does not delete data, execute arbitrary code, or move money. The modification is reversible (zones can be removed from blacklist). Severity is medium because misuse could degrade ad campaign performance, but it does not result in permanent data loss or financial impact.

From the tool's definition Tool description states 'Add zones to campaign blacklist' - this modifies campaign settings by adding entries to a blacklist, which is a write operation that changes campaign configuration.
