WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why set_track_pan needs a policy

The tool modifies mixer track state (pan position) in FL Studio, which is a reversible operation. It does not execute arbitrary code, delete data, or involve financial transactions. It falls under Write category as it adjusts configuration parameters. Severity is medium because misuse could alter audio output in unintended ways, but changes are easily reversible and affect only one track parameter at a time.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'set_track_pan' and description 'Set the stereo pan of a mixer track' indicate modification of mixer track parameters. This is a reversible change to track properties in a music production context.
