WHAT IT DOES

WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why remove_tag_from_contacts needs a policy

This tool modifies data by removing a tag from contacts, but tag removal is typically reversible (the tag can be re-added). However, the blast radius is high because it affects ALL contacts that have the tag — a single operation could modify potentially thousands of contact records simultaneously, making it a high-severity write operation.
