WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why snooze_chore needs a policy

Snoozing a chore updates an existing item's scheduled date without deleting or destroying data. This is a reversible modification operation typical of Write category tools. The action has minimal blast radius—it only affects the timing of a household task and can be easily undone by snoozing again to an earlier date or completing the chore.

From the tool's definition Tool description states 'Snooze a chore until a given date', which modifies the state of a chore (postpones its due date) in a reversible manner.
