WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why SendTestEmailMessage needs a policy

Sending an email is a write operation that creates and transmits a message. While it does interact with external systems, the blast radius is limited: a test email is intended for verification purposes and produces a single, non-destructive side effect. It does not execute arbitrary code, delete data, move money, or trigger production backup/recovery operations.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'SendTestEmailMessage' and description 'Send a test email to verify email settings' indicate the tool sends an email message, which creates/transmits data.
