Why schwab_open_option_orders needs a policy

The name implies reading/listing currently open option orders from a Schwab brokerage account. 'Open' likely refers to unfilled/pending orders rather than opening new ones, and the lack of action verbs like 'place', 'create', or 'cancel' suggests a read operation. However, the empty description significantly lowers confidence. Severity is medium because it exposes sensitive financial account data even if read-only.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'schwab_open_option_orders' suggests retrieval of open option orders from Schwab broker API
