WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why manage_account needs a policy

The 'manage' prefix typically indicates write operations (create, update, modify). Account management in a secrets/identity platform likely involves reversible modifications to account configurations, credentials, or metadata. Confidence is moderate due to empty description; if this tool could delete accounts or modify access controls irreversibly, it might warrant Destructive.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'manage_account' with 'manage' prefix suggests modification of account settings or configurations. Empty description limits precision.
