Why get_collection needs a policy

This tool retrieves schema and access control information from PocketBase collections. While categorically a Read operation, the severity is elevated to 'high' because access rules and schema details are sensitive information that could be exploited to identify attack surfaces or privilege escalation opportunities. An AI agent could use this information to craft targeted attacks against the PocketBase instance.

From the tool's definition Tool description states it 'Get[s] detailed information about a specific collection' and 'Returns complete schema including field definitions, types, constraints, and access rules'. These are read operations with no modification or deletion.
