Why get_console_message needs a policy

This tool only retrieves console message data that has already been captured. It performs no side effects, does not modify browser state, and cannot trigger external operations. While the parent server enables execution capabilities, this specific tool is limited to querying logged console events. The blast radius is minimal—an AI agent misusing this tool could only access message history without causing harm.

From the tool's definition Tool retrieves captured console messages by ID with no capability to modify, delete, or execute actions. The verb 'get' and description 'captured console message' indicate read-only retrieval of existing log data.
