WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why session_memory_continue_session needs a policy

Based on the tool name 'session_memory_continue_session' and the server context (session management, memory storage), this tool likely resumes or continues an existing session, which implies writing/modifying session state. However, the empty description significantly reduces confidence. It could be a Write operation (updating session state) or potentially just a Read (fetching session context).
