Why get_account_summary needs a policy

This is a read operation that retrieves account state information with no side effects. Although it operates on a financial system (trading account), it does not move money, execute trades, or modify any state. The blast radius of misuse is limited to information disclosure about the user's account, which is low compared to tools that could execute trades or transfer funds. It falls clearly into the Read category.
