WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why wiki_page_move needs a policy

The tool modifies data (page location/path) reversibly without deletion. While it could cause organizational disruption if misused (moving pages to confusing paths), it remains a Write operation rather than Destructive since the action is undoable and the page content is not erased.
