Why results_delete needs a policy

This tool permanently removes test result data without the ability to undo the operation. Deletion is irreversible and represents data loss. While not as critical as deleting production infrastructure or financial records, the loss of historical test data (especially in a security/performance testing context) has significant operational impact.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'results_delete' and description 'Delete one or more test results' indicate irreversible deletion of data. The verb 'delete' and plural 'results' confirm the destructive nature—test results cannot be recovered once removed.
