WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why update_profile needs a policy

This tool creates or modifies profile metadata (name, surname, bio) reversibly. It does not delete data (not Destructive), execute arbitrary code (not Execute), move money (not Financial), or retrieve data without side effects (not Read). The modification is scoped to the user's own profile and is reversible, making it Write.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'update_profile' and description 'Изменить отображаемое имя/фамилию/био собственного профиля' (Change displayed name/surname/bio of own profile) indicate modification of profile data fields.
