WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why activate_code_discount needs a policy

Activating a discount modifies business-critical pricing rules and can immediately affect customer transactions, revenue, and promotional strategies. This is reversible (can be deactivated again), making it Write rather than Destructive. However, the blast radius is high because an AI agent could activate unintended discounts, causing uncontrolled revenue loss or customer confusion.

From the tool's definition Tool name is 'activate_code_discount' and description states it 'Activate a code discount that is currently inactive or scheduled.' This modifies the state of an existing discount resource, changing it from inactive/scheduled to active status.
