Why session_link_status needs a policy

This tool queries the current state of Ableton Link and external sync status without altering any music production data or triggering playback/recording. It is purely informational, designed to be called before taking other actions. The return of nullable status fields and availability flags confirms it is a passive observation tool.

From the tool's definition Tool is explicitly described as 'Read-only' and performs 'discovery' of status; returns status fields without modification. The verb 'Read' and qualifier 'Read-only' directly indicate data retrieval with no side effects.
