WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why send_draft needs a policy

The tool sends a draft message through a communication channel, which constitutes content creation/delivery—a Write operation. It modifies the draft's status from pending to sent. The severity is medium because misuse could result in unwanted messages being sent to contacts (affecting reputation and user relationships) but does not involve data deletion, code execution, or financial transactions.

From the tool's definition Tool description states 'send a pending draft message' and 'draft will be delivered via its specified channel' and 'draft status changes to [sent]'. This is a reversible modification action (sending/publishing content).
