WHAT IT DOES

What spoof_mac does on GhostMap v2

AI agents invoke spoof_mac to trigger actions in GhostMap v2. What it does depends on the arguments the agent supplies, and its effects often reach beyond the immediate call — builds kicked off, notifications sent, workflows started.

WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY
