WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why remove_from_bag needs a policy

Removing an item from a shopping bag is a reversible write operation — the item can be re-added. It modifies the state of the shopping bag but does not permanently delete data, commit a financial transaction, or execute arbitrary code. Severity is medium because an AI agent misusing this tool could empty a user's carefully curated bag, causing inconvenience, but the action is recoverable.
