WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why pilotgentic_memory needs a policy

This tool writes to a persistent memory system that tracks user actions, preferences, and session context. While reversible (preferences can be changed, records updated), the high confidence is warranted by explicit mentions of store/update operations.

From the tool's definition The tool stores, updates, and modifies persistent data: 'Store actions', 'recall context across sessions', 'update user preferences'. These are write operations that create or modify data reversibly.
