WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why mittwald_container_recreate needs a policy

Recreating a container is an Execute-level action: it stops the existing container instance and starts a new one, potentially causing downtime and side effects on running workloads. While not permanently destructive (data volumes typically persist), it triggers external operations with significant blast radius if misused on production containers.

From the tool's definition "Recreate a container" - recreating a container involves stopping and restarting it, which is an operational action that triggers external infrastructure changes
