WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why wordpress_set_canonical_url needs a policy

Setting canonical URLs modifies SEO metadata on existing pages, which is a reversible content modification operation. This falls under Write rather than Read (which would be inspection-only) or Destructive (which would be irreversible deletion). The empty description reduces confidence slightly, but the naming pattern on this server and the 'set_' verb clearly indicate a modification action.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'wordpress_set_canonical_url' indicates modification of canonical URL metadata for WordPress content. The 'set_' prefix indicates a write/update operation rather than read-only retrieval.
