WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why reorder_question_options needs a policy

Reordering question options modifies the presentation order of data without deleting anything. This is a reversible write operation. Confidence is slightly reduced because the description says 'Reorder a question' rather than explicitly 'Reorder question options', introducing minor ambiguity, but the tool name and server context make the intent clear.

From the tool's definition 'Reorder a question' — changes the ordering/sequence of question options, which is a reversible modification
