WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why proxy_import_config needs a policy

It does not delete data (ruling out Destructive), does not execute arbitrary code (ruling out Execute), and does not involve financial transactions.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'proxy_import_config' and description 'Import proxy configuration from file' indicate data modification. The import operation loads configuration data into the proxy system, modifying its state.
