WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why cloudron_repair_app needs a policy

This tool triggers an active remediation operation on a running application — it executes repair logic that modifies the app's state, potentially reinstalling components, restarting services, or reconfiguring the environment. It is not a simple read, nor is it a clean write/create; it executes an async operational task (returns a task ID) that can have broad side effects on the app's running state.

From the tool's definition Repair a broken application. Attempts automatic repair of apps in error state. Use when an app is unhealthy or has installation issues.
