Why list-issues needs a policy

This tool queries and retrieves issue data from Redmine with optional filters applied, but performs no modifications, deletions, or external operations. It has no side effects on the system state. The blast radius if misused by an AI agent is minimal—at worst, filtered issue data is returned to the agent, which does not affect system integrity or cause harm.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'list-issues' and description 'List issues from Redmine with optional filtering' indicate data retrieval without modification. The verb 'list' is explicitly enumerated as a Read operation.
