What whm_list_packages does on ItchWHMMCP

AI agents call whm_list_packages to retrieve information from ItchWHMMCP without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

Why whm_list_packages needs a policy

This is a read-only operation that queries and returns existing hosting package information. It has no side effects, cannot modify data, and poses minimal risk if invoked by an AI agent. The only concern would be information disclosure if package details are sensitive, but listing packages is a standard administrative query with low blast radius.

From the tool's definition Tool name and description indicate it 'List[s] all hosting packages/plans configured on the WHM server' — a query operation that retrieves configuration data without modifying, deleting, or executing anything.
