Why list_nodes needs a policy

This tool retrieves and returns information about TRON network nodes. It performs a query with no side effects—no data is created, modified, deleted, or executed. The returned node addresses are informational metadata about network infrastructure. The blast radius is minimal; misuse would only expose publicly available network topology information. Classified as Read with low severity.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'list_nodes' and description 'List all connected node addresses on the TRON network. Returns an array of node IP:port strings' indicate a read-only query operation that retrieves network topology information without modification or side effects.
