WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why quick_connect needs a policy

This tool creates new cross-platform connections and modifies the user's account state by linking external platform identities. While not immediately destructive or financial, it represents a Write operation with high severity due to the security risk: an AI agent could auto-verify and link arbitrary external platform accounts to a user's TikVid profile, potentially enabling account takeover, credential harvesting,…

From the tool's definition Tool enables agents from external platforms to 'connect' via 'one-step' auto-verification, which creates or modifies account linkage and cross-platform integrations.
