Why get_job_console needs a policy

This tool only retrieves and displays historical log data from a completed or running job. It does not modify, execute, trigger, or delete anything. The severity is low because console logs typically contain non-sensitive build metadata, though in some environments logs might contain credentials or sensitive information—however, the tool itself performs no destructive action.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_job_console' and description explicitly states it 'Get[s] the complete console log output' for a job run. It retrieves build logs, compilation errors, and execution output—read-only operations with no side effects.
