Why scan_tool_poisoning needs a policy

scan_tool_poisoning performs static analysis on tool manifests to detect security smells. This is fundamentally a retrieval and analysis function that examines input and produces a risk assessment report. It does not modify any data, execute code, delete records, or move money. Even though it analyzes security threats, the tool itself is defensive and non-destructive.

From the tool's definition Tool description states it 'scans' and 'returns a risk score and flagged patterns' — a query/analysis operation with no side effects. No creation, modification, deletion, code execution, or financial action is performed.
