Why analyze_check_constraints needs a policy

This tool retrieves and examines check constraint metadata from the database schema. It performs no writes, deletes, code execution, or financial operations. The blast radius is minimal—misuse would only expose database schema information that the AI already has query access to. It falls squarely in the Read category alongside sibling tools like describe_table and describe_view.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'analyze_check_constraints' and description 'Extract and analyze business rules from check constraints' indicate data retrieval and inspection of database metadata.
