WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why campaign_research_add needs a policy

The name clearly suggests a Write operation (add/create research data within a campaign). While the description is empty and lowers confidence slightly, the naming convention and server context (task management, dependency tracking) indicate this tool appends or creates research artifacts rather than executing arbitrary code or permanently destroying data.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'campaign_research_add' indicates adding/appending data to a campaign's research. The context of a task/campaign management system suggests this creates or modifies research entries, which is reversible.
