WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why ploomes_products_update needs a policy

This tool creates or modifies data in a reversible manner (product records in a CRM system). It is clearly a Write operation rather than Destructive since updates are not irreversible. The severity is medium because incorrect product updates in a CRM could affect business operations, pricing, and customer interactions, but the impact is limited to a single product record and can be corrected by subsequent updates.

From the tool's definition Tool description states 'Update an existing product' which modifies data reversibly. The verb 'Update' and phrase 'Only provided fields are changed' indicate a write operation that can be undone or corrected, not a destructive deletion.
