WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why smart_stage_changes needs a policy

Staging changes via git add is a reversible, non-destructive write operation. It modifies the index/staging area but does not delete data or commit changes irreversibly. However, it does alter the repository state and could cause confusion if misapplied by an agent, hence medium severity.

From the tool's definition Tool performs 'git add' operations which stage changes in version control. The description states it will suggest and execute 'grouped git add commands' that modify the git staging area.
