WHAT IT DOES

WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why ralph_hero__archive_items needs a policy

This tool modifies data (changes archive status of project items) but the operation is reversible—items can be unarchived and are not permanently deleted. This makes it a Write operation rather than Destructive. The severity is medium because bulk archiving via workflowStates filter could affect multiple items and impact project visibility, but the action can be undone.

From the tool's definition Tool description states it can 'Archive or unarchive project items' and explicitly notes 'Archived items are hidden from views but not deleted.' The operation modifies item state reversibly without irreversible deletion.
