What roboflow_export_version does on Roboflow MCP Server

WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why roboflow_export_version needs a policy

This tool triggers an external operation (export generation) on Roboflow's servers. It doesn't merely read data, nor does it write/modify existing data or delete anything — it initiates a processing job/export pipeline. The blast radius is medium since it consumes server resources and generates export artifacts, but doesn't delete or move money.
