WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why swarmtrade_subscribe_notifications needs a policy

This tool creates a subscription (webhook or email endpoint registration), which is a reversible write operation — it creates a new notification record/configuration. It does not move money, delete data, or execute code, but it does register an external callback that could be used to exfiltrate trade state changes if misused.
