WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why generate_images needs a policy

The tool name and server context strongly suggest this tool generates AI images and potentially stores them. Image generation creates new content (Write category). The empty description lowers confidence, but the server description mentioning persistent storage via Tencent Cloud COS implies the results may be saved remotely. No indication of destructive, financial, or execution behavior.
