WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why set_animation_scale needs a policy

This tool modifies a device system setting (animation scale) which is a reversible write operation. It changes Android developer options settings but does not execute code, delete data, or involve financial transactions. Misuse could affect UI testing workflows by disabling animations unexpectedly, but the change is easily reversible.

From the tool's definition Set animation scale (0 = off, 1 = normal, 0.5 = fast)
