WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why update_schedule_post needs a policy

The tool name strongly suggests it modifies or updates existing scheduled posts (reversible write operation). While the description is empty, the name itself combined with the server's explicit scheduling capability indicates this creates or modifies post schedules. This is Write rather than Execute because it operates on data records (post schedules) rather than triggering immediate external actions.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'update_schedule_post' indicates modification of scheduled posts; server context shows Metricool API manages 'scheduling posts' and campaign data.
