WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why image_flip needs a policy

This tool transforms an image by flipping it along one or more axes. It creates a modified version of the image, which is a reversible write/transform operation. It does not delete data, execute code, or involve financial transactions. Severity is low as it only affects image orientation and is easily reversible.

From the tool's definition Flip image: horizontal (mirror), vertical, or both.
