Why getDCFValuation needs a policy

getDCFValuation performs financial analysis and calculation based on provided parameters (expected cash flows, discount rates). It retrieves or computes derived data (intrinsic value estimates) with no side effects on accounts, positions, or external systems. Even though the output informs financial decisions, the tool itself does not execute trades, transfer funds, or make irreversible changes.

From the tool's definition Tool description states 'Estimate the intrinsic value' and 'Calculate the DCF valuation' — these are analytical computations that retrieve or derive financial metrics without modifying, deleting, or committing financial transactions.
