WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why load_instrument_by_name needs a policy

Based on the name alone, this tool likely loads/instantiates an instrument into Ableton Live by name, which constitutes a Write operation (modifying the session state by adding an instrument). However, with no description available, confidence is low. Given the context of sibling tools that add/modify musical elements, Write is the most plausible category.
