WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why midos_submit needs a policy

Submission to an inbox is reversible—the task can typically be removed, paused, or modified before processing. However, it does alter system state by adding a work item. Without explicit destructive guarantees or financial operations, this falls under Write.

From the tool's definition Tool performs 'submit' action to place a task in an 'inbox for async processing'. This creates or queues a new item in the system, consistent with Write behavior (create, post). The tool does not execute the task directly, merely stages it.
