WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why add_tags needs a policy

Adding tags to files is a reversible write operation that modifies file metadata without deleting data. It creates or updates tag associations, which can be undone by removing tags. This is less severe than Execute (no code/command execution) or Destructive (reversible), placing it in the Write category.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'add_tags' and description 'ファイルにタグを追加します' (adds tags to files) indicates modification of file metadata.
