Why pilotgentic_find needs a policy

This tool queries the macOS accessibility tree to locate UI elements and return their positions and metadata. It retrieves information without side effects, modifying system state, or executing actions. While it supports potential misuse (e.g., finding sensitive UI to interact with), the tool itself performs only read operations on accessibility information.

From the tool's definition Tool description states it 'Find[s] a UI element by text description, label, or role — returns coordinates and accessibility info'. The verb is 'find' and the action is querying/retrieving UI element metadata without modification or execution.
