Why optimize_itinerary needs a policy

Optimizing an itinerary involves reading the current itinerary and writing back a modified version. This is a reversible write operation — the itinerary is updated/rearranged but not permanently destroyed. Severity is medium because a misuse could overwrite a carefully planned itinerary with an unwanted arrangement, but it is recoverable in typical systems.

From the tool's definition 'Optimizes an existing itinerary' implies modifying/updating an existing record based on specified criteria
