Why getAccounts needs a policy

This tool queries and returns account information without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing any operations. It is purely informational. While account details are sensitive financial information, the tool itself performs only a read operation. Severity is low because retrieving account list metadata does not directly expose account balances, enable transactions, or cause irreversible changes.

From the tool's definition Tool name is 'getAccounts' and description states 'Get list of brokerage accounts' — a retrieval operation with no data modification or side effects.
