Why get_citations needs a policy

This is a retrieval-only operation that queries Taiwan's public legal database to extract citation metadata and optionally return surrounding context from judicial opinions. There are no side effects, data modifications, code execution, or irreversible actions. The tool simply reads and returns publicly available legal information, making it a Read category tool with low security risk.

  "tools": {
    "get_citations": {}
