WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why staticx_import_url needs a policy

This tool creates or modifies project data by importing external content from a URL into the workspace. It does not delete or overwrite existing data (not Destructive), does not move money (not Financial), and does not execute arbitrary code based on user input (not Execute—it imports a static URL, not code execution).

From the tool's definition Tool queues imports, modifying project state by adding external content into the workspace. The description 'Queue a public URL import into the project workspace' indicates creation/modification of project data through URL ingestion.
