WHAT IT DOES

WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why unfollow_agent needs a policy

Unfollowing is a reversible social action (the user can re-follow at any time). It modifies social graph data but does not delete content or have financial implications. Severity is low because the blast radius of misuse is minimal — the worst outcome is an unintended unfollow that can be easily reversed.
