Why get_chain_parameters needs a policy

This is a straightforward informational query that retrieves blockchain state data without modifying anything. It's equivalent to querying gas prices on Ethereum — purely informational. No funds are moved, no data is created/modified, and no operations are triggered. The low severity reflects minimal risk even if called incorrectly by an AI agent.

From the tool's definition Tool returns current chain parameters and fee information (Energy and Bandwidth unit prices). The name 'get_chain_parameters' and description 'Returns structured fee information' indicate a read-only query operation with no side effects or state modifications.
