WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why manage_autoloads needs a policy

This tool can create new autoload singletons (Write) or remove existing ones (potentially Destructive). However, removing autoload entries is reversible through version control or manual restoration of the configuration file, and doesn't permanently erase data or game assets. The 'list' operation is read-only.

From the tool's definition Tool description states 'Add, remove, or list autoload singletons in project.godot'. The 'add' and 'remove' operations modify the project configuration file by creating or deleting autoload entries.
