WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why odoo_run_period_close_checks needs a policy

Period closing in ERP systems (like Odoo) triggers irreversible financial period locks and reconciliation processes.

Without a description, confidence is lowered.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'odoo_run_period_close_checks' indicates execution of period-closing validation checks in an ERP system. The 'run' verb and 'close' context suggest triggering automated business processes whose effects depend on system state and data.
