WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why resolve_secret_scanning_alert needs a policy

This tool modifies the state of a secret-scanning alert by resolving it. While not destructive (the alert record persists), it is a write operation that changes data. Misuse could suppress legitimate security alerts, potentially hiding exposed credentials. However, the impact is limited to alert metadata rather than core infrastructure or data deletion, warranting 'medium' severity rather than 'high'.

From the tool's definition Tool description explicitly states 'WRITE OPERATION' and the function name 'resolve_secret_scanning_alert' indicates modification of an alert's state (marking it as resolved).
