WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why bulkUpdatePeople needs a policy

This tool performs reversible modification of data (Write category) rather than deletion (Destructive) or code execution (Execute). However, the 'bulk' aspect targeting multiple people records simultaneously elevates severity to 'high' due to the potential for widespread unintended changes to customer/contact data if an AI agent misuses the update logic.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'bulkUpdatePeople' and description 'Update multiple people with the same changes' indicate modification of existing data records. The bulk nature and CRM context (affecting multiple contacts/people records) creates significant blast radius.
