WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why grade_track needs a policy

This tool modifies video clips by applying color grading effects and parameters across all clips in a project. This is a Write operation because: (1) it creates/modifies data (applies effects to clips), (2) the changes are reversible (effects can be removed or adjusted), and (3) it does not delete data or execute arbitrary code.

From the tool's definition Tool description states 'Apply one effect (default Lumetri Color) + a set of numeric params to EVERY clip on a' — modifies video clips by applying effects and parameters.
