WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why add_to_bookmarks needs a policy

This tool creates or adds bookmark entries to the browser, which is a data modification operation. While bookmarks can be deleted or modified later (reversible), the action itself creates new data structures. There is no indication of irreversible deletion (Destructive), code execution (Execute), financial impact (Financial), or data retrieval only (Read).

From the tool's definition Tool description states it 'clones tree or library nodes INTO the browser' - this modifies bookmark state by adding/creating new bookmark entries, which is a reversible write operation.
