Why get_analytical_service_document needs a policy

This tool retrieves schema/structure information about analytical assets (entity sets and URLs) but does not query, modify, or execute operations on actual data. It is a read-only metadata discovery operation with no side effects. Low severity because even if an AI agent explores available services, it cannot directly access sensitive data or perform actions through this endpoint alone.

From the tool's definition Tool returns 'OData service document' and 'service root with available entity sets and their URLs' - purely informational discovery of metadata structure without data retrieval or modification.
