Why get_renewal_strategy needs a policy

It does not create, modify, delete data; does not execute external code or commands; and does not commit financial transactions. Although the *use case* involves negotiation strategy (which may influence spending), the tool itself is purely informational retrieval.

From the tool's definition Tool retrieves and returns a 'renewal-negotiation playbook' including 'leverage points', 'price-anchor alternatives', 'discount ask', 'walkaway script', 'optimal timing window', and 'contract-trap callouts'.
