Why delete_recipe needs a policy

This tool performs irreversible deletion of recipe data. Although it moves to trash rather than permanent hard delete, the user-facing effect is data loss that cannot be recovered without restore capabilities. This is the most severe category applicable (Destructive > Execute > Write > Read).

From the tool's definition Tool description explicitly states 'Delete a recipe from Paprika by moving it to trash' and requires confirmation before permanent removal. The action irreversibly removes data (recipes) from the system.
