WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why generate_content needs a policy

This tool creates new data (a LinkedIn post draft) without executing external operations, deleting data, or moving money. The content is generated text that can be edited, discarded, or replaced—reversible actions. While publishing to LinkedIn could have reputational impact if misused by an agent, the tool itself only generates and returns text, not automatically posting it.

From the tool's definition Tool description states it 'Generate[s] a LinkedIn post' and 'Returns ready-to-publish text', indicating creation of new content that is reversible.
