Why list_work_orders needs a policy

This tool queries and retrieves work order data without modifying, deleting, or executing any operations. It only filters and searches existing records. The sibling tools show destructive operations (delete_*) and write operations (create_*) as separate concerns, confirming this is purely a data retrieval function with low blast radius if misused.

From the tool's definition Tool description states 'List work orders' with filtering and search capabilities. The verb 'list' and the absence of any modification, deletion, or execution language indicate a read-only retrieval operation.
