WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why generate_password needs a policy

With no description available, we can only infer from the name. 'generate_password' most likely generates a random password string locally without side effects — no data is read from external systems, no data is written or deleted, no code is executed remotely, and no financial action is taken. This is likely a utility/helper function, falling under Other. Confidence is low due to the empty description.

From the tool's definition Tool name is 'generate_password'; description is empty or uninformative.
