What transfer_booking does on Travel Amadeus MCP Server

WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why transfer_booking needs a policy

Booking a transfer service creates a reservation record and likely commits the user to a service agreement. While it may have financial implications (payment is typically part of booking), the primary action described is creating a booking/reservation (Write). However, travel bookings often involve financial commitments, so severity is high.

From the tool's definition 'Book a transfer service' — creates a booking reservation for a ground transfer
