WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why cancel_host_as_degraded needs a policy

This tool reverses/cancels a degraded status on a host, which is a state modification (write operation). It's reversible in nature — it restores/changes a status flag rather than deleting or destroying data. Severity is medium because modifying host health status in a cloud infrastructure could affect workload scheduling and availability decisions.
