Why add_animation_track needs a policy

This tool creates or modifies animation tracks, which is a reversible data modification operation. It does not execute arbitrary code, delete data irreversibly, or cause financial transactions. The blast radius is medium because malicious animation modifications could corrupt game assets or cause unexpected visual/behavioral effects, but the changes are undoable through Godot's undo system.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'add_animation_track' and description 'Add a track to an existing animation' indicate creation/modification of animation data within Godot Engine.
