Why get_all_comments needs a policy

This tool retrieves and queries comment data from Figma files. It is purely observational—it fetches, filters, and organizes existing comments but does not create, modify, delete, or execute any operations. The grouping and organization of returned data are presentation-layer concerns that do not constitute Write or Execute actions.

From the tool's definition Tool description states it 'Fetch[es] every comment thread in a Figma file' with no mention of modifications, deletions, or side effects. It returns data about existing comments without altering them.
