WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why update_organization_webhook_config needs a policy

The tool updates (modifies) webhook configuration, which is a Write operation. It is reversible—changes can be undone by updating again. Severity is high because webhooks control external integrations and can be configured to call arbitrary URLs or trigger automated workflows; misconfiguration could expose sensitive data or enable unauthorized actions at scale across an organization's repositories.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'update_organization_webhook_config' and description 'Update webhook config for an organization webhook' indicate modification of existing webhook configuration. This is a reversible write operation on organization settings.
