WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why image_to_video needs a policy

This tool executes an external pipeline that transforms a static image into an animated video using Ghibli-style aesthetics. It is not a simple read or write; it triggers a compute/processing operation with side effects (video generation). It doesn't delete data (not Destructive) or move money (not Financial), so Execute is the most appropriate category.
