WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why boost_confidence needs a policy

Based on the tool name 'boost_confidence' and the context of a memory/knowledge graph server, this tool likely modifies a confidence score or weight associated with a memory, node, or event — a reversible write operation. However, the empty description significantly reduces confidence. It could also be an Execute-class operation if it triggers re-analysis.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'boost_confidence' and empty description provide minimal information to classify accurately.
