Why lidarr_remove_artist needs a policy

Removing an artist from Lidarr permanently deletes associated metadata, music files, and library entries. This action cannot be undone and represents irreversible data loss. While the blast radius is limited to the Lidarr service rather than critical infrastructure, the destructive nature and potential for accidental or malicious removal of large portions of a music library justifies 'high' severity.

From the tool's definition Tool name explicitly states 'remove' and description confirms it 'Remove[s] an artist from the Lidarr library' — this irreversibly deletes data from the media library.
