What segment_region does on MedVision MCP

Why segment_region needs a policy

Segmentation is a form of image analysis and feature extraction. While it produces analytical output, it does not alter the source image, create persistent records, execute arbitrary code, trigger external systems, or move data/money. The most severe applicable category is Read, as the tool retrieves/analyzes information from medical images without side effects.

From the tool's definition Tool performs segmentation of anatomical regions in medical images—a non-destructive analysis operation. Description uses 'segment' which identifies regions but does not modify, delete, or execute external code.
