WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why vfx_mirror_x needs a policy

This tool modifies video data by applying a horizontal mirror/flip transformation. It creates a new modified version of video content rather than retrieving data (Read) or executing arbitrary code (Execute). The modification is reversible by applying the mirror again, so it does not qualify as Destructive.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'vfx_mirror_x' with description 'Mirror X' indicates a video transformation that modifies video frames by horizontally flipping them.
