WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why resolve_comment needs a policy

The tool performs a state change on a comment—marking it as resolved—which is a modification operation. This falls into the Write category because it creates or modifies data reversibly. The severity is low because resolving comments is a low-risk administrative action with minimal blast radius. The permission restriction ('Only the comment author can resolve it') further limits potential misuse.

From the tool's definition The tool description states 'Mark a comment as resolved,' which modifies the state of a comment object (reversibly, as comments can presumably be unresololved).
