WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why ops_sla_followup needs a policy

This tool posts messages (replies) to Slack threads across multiple channels, which is a Write operation. The blast radius is high because it can send messages across many channels simultaneously to SLA-breached threads, potentially spamming numerous conversations. The dry-run support suggests awareness of the broad impact. It does not delete or execute code, so Write is the most appropriate category.
