WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why release_moku needs a policy

This tool modifies device ownership state rather than permanently destroying data. Disconnecting and releasing ownership is a Write operation because it changes the system state reversibly—another interface can reattach and regain control. It is not Destructive since no data is deleted or irreversibly lost.

From the tool's definition Tool description states 'Disconnect from Moku and release ownership', which modifies the connection state and ownership status of the Moku device. This is a reversible state change (ownership can be reacquired via attach_moku).
