WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why get-product-attributes needs a policy

This tool retrieves product attribute data from a Shopify store without modifying, deleting, or executing operations. It is a read operation with minimal blast radius—exposure would only allow unauthorized data querying. Low confidence reduction due to missing tool description, but the server context and naming pattern strongly indicate a safe Read operation.

From the tool's definition Server description explicitly states 'read-only tools' and the tool name 'get-product-attributes' follows the 'get-' pattern consistent with retrieval operations (get-articles, get-blogs, get-collections, get-customer-by-id, etc.).
