WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why manage_gameobject needs a policy

Given sibling tools like 'delete_script', 'create_script', 'execute_blender_code', this server supports destructive operations.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'manage_gameobject' with empty description. The word 'manage' implies create/update/delete operations on game objects.
