Why get_stored_procedure_definition needs a policy

This tool only retrieves the definition/source code of an existing stored procedure. It does not create, modify, delete, or execute procedures. It performs a query/inspection operation similar to sibling tools like 'get_table_schema' and 'list_stored_procedures', which are Read operations. The blast radius is minimal: an agent could learn procedure logic but cannot alter data or execute code through this tool alone.

From the tool's definition Tool name is 'get_stored_procedure_definition' and description states 'Get the full CREATE PROCEDURE source code' — purely retrieves and returns existing procedure metadata without modification or execution.
