WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why split_tasks_raw needs a policy

This tool appears to split or decompose tasks into subtasks, which is a write/create operation within the task management system. 'Raw' suggests it skips analysis steps and directly creates/modifies task structures. The description is minimal, so confidence is moderate. No evidence of deletion, execution of code, or financial operations.
