WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why aem_plan_efficient_upload_metadata_sync needs a policy

The tool itself does not execute uploads or modify metadata directly; it generates a staged plan with guidance on concurrency and retry logic. This is an advisory/planning tool (Read-like meta-operation), but since the primary purpose is to facilitate Write operations (upload and metadata modification) to AEM Assets, it should be classified as Write.

From the tool's definition Tool returns a plan for 'upload + metadata pipelines', explicitly covering 'upload' and 'metadata sync' operations that modify data in AEM Assets.
