What tool2 does on SSMCP

AI agents call tool2 as a supporting operation in SSMCP workflows.

WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why tool2 needs a policy

With only a generic name and a stub description, there is no basis to classify this tool into any meaningful risk category. The sibling tools (calculator, cat_say, getWeather, tool1) suggest a demo/test server, further indicating this is likely a placeholder. Defaulting to Other with minimal confidence.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'tool2' and description 'Desc2' are both placeholder/uninformative strings that provide no actionable information about what the tool does.
