WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why konsulto_replace_section needs a policy

The tool creates or modifies data reversibly by replacing section content in audit findings. This fits the Write category (creates/modifies data reversibly). Severity is medium because unintended replacement of audit section content could compromise audit documentation quality and require correction, but the change is reversible and doesn't delete data or execute arbitrary operations.

From the tool's definition Tool performs content replacement via 'Replace the entire prose under a named section.' This is a write operation that modifies existing data (section content) reversibly—the previous content can be restored or edited again.
