WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why submit_overtime_request needs a policy

This tool creates or modifies overtime request data, which is reversible (requests can be withdrawn, denied, or modified). It does not execute external operations, delete data irreversibly, or move money. Empty description lowers confidence slightly, but the name and context clearly indicate data creation/modification rather than querying.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'submit_overtime_request' indicates creation of a new overtime request record. Sibling tools 'approve_overtime_request' and 'get_overtime_requests' confirm this server manages overtime request lifecycle.
