Why list_properties needs a policy

This tool retrieves structural metadata about Sanka object families (orders, companies, deals) to discover available properties and fields. It performs a read-only query operation with no capability to modify, delete, or execute external operations. The intended use case is informational—gathering schema information before other operations. No data is modified, deleted, or executed.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'list_properties' and description explicitly states it 'List properties' and is used to query 'the current property schema' before creating or updating records. This is a schema/metadata retrieval operation with no side effects.
