WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why neptime_update_video needs a policy

This tool modifies existing video metadata reversibly. The changes can be undone by calling the tool again with different values. It does not delete data (which would be Destructive) nor execute arbitrary code (which would be Execute). While the modifications affect content visibility and presentation, they are standard write operations typical of content management systems.

From the tool's definition Tool name contains 'update'; description states 'Update a video you own'; arguments allow modification of video metadata (title, description, tags, privacy); returns updated video object.
