Why validate_dx_tests needs a policy

Validation of test specifications is a read-only operation that analyzes structure and correctness without modifying data, executing code, or performing destructive actions. The tool examines metadata to provide feedback, which is characteristic of Read category tools. The low severity reflects that misuse would only provide incorrect validation results without affecting actual systems or data.

From the tool's definition Tool description states "Validate a generated Agentforce DX test spec without executing it." The explicit exclusion of execution ("without executing it") and the term "validate" indicate this performs analysis and verification only, with no side effects.
