Why judge.evaluate_response needs a policy

This tool evaluates/scores a response using an LLM judge — it reads and assesses input data but does not create, modify, delete, or trigger external side effects. The output is an evaluation result, making it a read/query operation. Severity is low as misuse would at worst produce biased or incorrect evaluations.
