WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why resolve_relink_clips needs a policy

Relinking clips updates project metadata and clip-to-media associations, which constitutes data modification. While reversible (clips can be relinked again), it affects project integrity. It does not execute arbitrary code, delete data, or trigger financial transactions.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'resolve_relink_clips' and description 'Relink offline clips to media in a new folder' indicates modifying the association between clips and their media sources. This changes clip metadata and references within the project, which is reversible.
