Why kb_list_indexes needs a policy

This tool retrieves database schema metadata (index definitions) without creating, modifying, or deleting any data or indexes. It is purely informational—similar to SHOW INDEXES or querying the information_schema. No side effects or destructive actions are possible. Classified as Read with low severity since the blast radius of exposing index metadata to an agent is minimal.

From the tool's definition Tool description states it 'List[s] all indexes on a table' and returns metadata about 'name, columns, uniqueness, and method'. The tool name 'kb_list_indexes' and verb 'list' indicate a retrieval operation with no data modification.
