WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why bbs_auto_learn_prompts needs a policy

This tool creates or modifies auto-learn prompt rule configurations. While the operation is reversible (rules can be reconfigured or deleted), it alters system behavior and settings that govern how the BBS client interprets and learns from prompts. The impact is scoped to configuration rules rather than user data, making it Write rather than Execute or Destructive.

From the tool's definition Tool description states 'Set auto-learn prompt rules from JSON' — the verb 'Set' indicates modification/creation of configuration rules.
