WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why create_followup_draft needs a policy

This tool creates new data (an email draft) in a reversible manner. It does not execute external operations (sending emails), delete data, or cause financial impacts. The 'draft' status means the output is not committed to production without further user action. Severity is low because a mistaken draft can be easily discarded or edited before use, with minimal blast radius.

From the tool's definition Tool name and description indicate it 'create[s] a follow-up email draft' — a write operation that generates and stores email content without sending or modifying existing data.
