WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why remove_tag_from_documents needs a policy

This tool modifies metadata (tags) on documents by removing a tag from all documents that have it. While tag removal is technically reversible (the tag could be re-added), it affects potentially many documents at once with a broad blast radius. It falls under Write as tag removal is a metadata modification rather than document deletion, but the bulk nature ('all documents') makes severity high.
