WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why get-template needs a policy

Given the sibling tools include destructive operations (delete-*) and write operations (create-*), 'get-template' clearly falls into the Read category. Confidence is slightly reduced due to the missing description, but the naming convention is sufficiently clear to classify with high confidence.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'get-template' indicates a retrieval operation. The prefix 'get-' is a strong signal for read-only data access.
