WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why set_auto_renew needs a policy

This tool modifies domain auto-renewal settings, which is a reversible configuration change. It does not delete data (Destructive), execute arbitrary code (Execute), or move money directly (Financial), though it could indirectly affect financial obligations if auto-renewal is enabled. The most direct classification is Write because it creates or modifies data reversibly.

From the tool's definition 'Enable or disable auto-renewal for a domain' — modifies domain configuration settings, changing renewal behavior
