WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why vfx_masks_and needs a policy

This tool performs a logical AND operation on video masks, creating a new combined mask. It modifies/creates mask data (a Write operation) but has no destructive, financial, or execution side effects. Blast radius is low since it only affects in-memory mask composition within a video editing pipeline.
