Why delete_relations needs a policy

This tool permanently removes relations (edges/links) from a knowledge graph structure. Deletion is an irreversible operation that cannot be undone through normal means. While the blast radius is somewhat contained to relation metadata rather than entire entities, the capability to delete multiple relations in batch could corrupt knowledge graph integrity and lose important connection data.

From the tool's definition Tool name is 'delete_relations' and description states 'Delete multiple relations from the knowledge graph'. The verb 'delete' combined with 'multiple' indicates irreversible removal of data.
