WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why confirm_framework needs a policy

This tool writes or modifies the .mcp-config.json configuration file, which is a reversible data modification. While it could affect system behavior through configuration changes, it does not execute arbitrary code, delete data irreversibly, or move money.

From the tool's definition Tool description indicates it 'confirm[s] Framework' and 'save[s] .mcp-config.json', which are operations that create or modify configuration files. The verb 'save' explicitly denotes a write operation.
