Why watch_delete needs a policy

This tool permanently removes watches and their run history without the ability to recover the deleted data. Irreversibility is the key indicator of a Destructive rather than Write category. The blast radius is high because an AI agent could accidentally or maliciously delete important monitoring watches and audit trails.

From the tool's definition "Delete a watch and its run history. Irreversible." - the tool explicitly deletes data and is marked as irreversible, which is the defining characteristic of destructive operations.
