WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why resume_check needs a policy

Based on the tool name alone, 'resume_check' likely re-enables or resumes a previously paused monitoring check, which is a reversible state change (Write). Confidence is low due to the empty description. It could also be Execute if it triggers immediate check execution, but Write is the most probable interpretation given the monitoring context.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'resume_check' suggests resuming a paused monitoring check; description is empty and uninformative.
