WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why task_research_reorder needs a policy

The verb 'reorder' implies modifying the sequence or arrangement of existing tasks, which is a reversible write operation. This fits the Write category (creates or modifies data reversibly). Severity is medium because reordering tasks could disrupt project workflows, but the action is reversible and does not destroy data or execute arbitrary code.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'task_research_reorder' suggests reordering tasks within a campaign management system. No description provided, but the naming pattern and sibling context (campaign_*, task_*) indicate data modification capability.
