WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why todoist_tasks_bulk_complete needs a policy

This tool modifies task completion status across multiple tasks matching search criteria. While the action is reversible and does not permanently delete data, it represents a significant change to task states that could affect project organization and user workflows if applied incorrectly.
