Why get_stock_prices needs a policy

This tool queries and retrieves historical stock price data (Open, High, Low, Close, Volume). It performs no writes, deletes, executions, or financial transactions—merely fetches pre-existing market data accessible to the public. Even if an AI agent calls it excessively, the worst outcome is API rate-limiting or redundant queries, not data loss or financial harm.
