WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why risk_register_manager needs a policy

This tool modifies a risk register by managing and ranking risk entries. While 'managing' risks could theoretically include read-only operations, the ability to 'rank' implies reordering or updating risk records. This is a write operation—reversible data modification. It does not execute external operations (Execute), destroy data (Destructive), or move money (Financial).

From the tool's definition The tool name is 'risk_register_manager' and the description states it can 'Manage and rank risks by severity', which indicates creation, modification, and organization of risk data rather than mere retrieval.
