WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why updateConfluencePage needs a policy

This tool creates or modifies data reversibly by updating a Confluence page. While it changes existing content that could affect team visibility and workflows, the modification is reversible (previous versions can be restored, pages can be edited again). It does not delete data irreversibly, execute arbitrary code, or move money.

From the tool's definition updateConfluencePage: 'Update an existing Confluence page' - directly modifies existing content in a shared collaboration platform
