WHAT IT DOES

What skip_week does on HelloFresh MCP Server

WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why skip_week needs a policy

Skipping a delivery week modifies the HelloFresh subscription schedule. While it has real-world impact (no meal kit delivered that week), it is generally reversible by un-skipping or rescheduling. This places it in the Write category. Severity is medium because misuse could cause a missed delivery the user wanted, but it is not financially transacting or permanently destructive.

From the tool's definition 'Skip a delivery week' — modifies the delivery schedule by skipping a week, which is a reversible account change (week can likely be unskipped or rescheduled).
