WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why session_manage needs a policy

Session management involves modifying application state (creating, updating, or terminating sessions) rather than merely reading data. The 'cleanup' aspect suggests potential irreversible removal of session records, but without specific evidence of permanent data destruction, this is classified as Write rather than Destructive.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'session_manage' with description 'Manage sessions and cleanup' indicates state modification operations. 'Manage' and 'cleanup' typically involve creating, modifying, or removing session data.
