WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why addComment needs a policy

This tool creates a new comment as a reversible modification to a document. While comments do not alter the document's core content, they are persistent metadata additions that can affect collaboration and document state. This is clearly a Write operation—it creates new data (comments) that can be modified or deleted by authorized users.
