WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why oscribble_complete_task_with_timing needs a policy

This tool creates a modification to task data by marking a task as complete and recording timing metadata. While the action is reversible (via uncomplete_task), it is a data modification that changes application state. This is a Write-category action rather than Execute because it does not run arbitrary code or trigger external operations—it performs a well-defined, scoped task completion operation.

From the tool's definition Tool name includes 'complete_task' and description states 'Complete a task', indicating it modifies task state.
