WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why mixpanel_set_user_profile needs a policy

The tool modifies user profile data in Mixpanel's analytics system. While it changes existing records (user profiles), the changes are reversible—profiles can be re-updated with different values. This makes it a Write operation rather than Destructive.
