WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why register_compliance needs a policy

This tool modifies token compliance metadata and governance parameters reversibly. While compliance rules affect behavior of financial instruments, the tool itself does not move money or commit financial obligations (Financial category). It does not irreversibly delete data (Destructive). It creates or updates compliance configuration, making it Write.

From the tool's definition Tool registers (creates/modifies) compliance rules for tokens, including KYC requirements and holder limits. The verb 'register' and the object 'compliance rules' indicate data creation or modification rather than deletion or financial movement.
