Why get_bill_history needs a policy

This tool retrieves and queries existing billing data without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing any operations. It has no side effects and presents minimal risk. Even if an AI agent misuses it by requesting all available history, the worst outcome is information disclosure of the user's own account data, which is low severity.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_bill_history' and description 'View past Xfinity bills and payment history' indicate data retrieval only. The verb 'View' and absence of modification language confirm read-only access to historical billing records.
