WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why set_view_grouping needs a policy

This tool creates or modifies view metadata (grouping configuration) reversibly—the grouping can be changed or removed without losing underlying data. It affects how data is organized/displayed but does not create, delete, or execute arbitrary operations.

From the tool's definition Tool modifies view configuration by setting the grouping column for kanban/board views. Description states it 'Set[s] the grouping column' and 'Groups cards/rows by the specified column,' indicating a state change to the view's display settings.
