WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why remove_background needs a policy

This tool modifies an image by removing its background. It produces a new output image (transformed version), which is a reversible write/transformation operation — the original image is not necessarily destroyed, and the result is a new artifact. It does not execute code, delete data irreversibly in a destructive sense, or involve finances.
