Why list_cards needs a policy

No modification, deletion, execution, or financial operation is implied. The optional filters allow narrowing results but do not change underlying data.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'list_cards' and description 'List cards/frames with optional filters' indicate a retrieval operation with no side effects.
