WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why vfx_slide_in needs a policy

This tool applies a visual effect (slide-in transition/animation) to video content using MoviePy. It triggers an external video processing operation whose effects depend on arguments. The description is minimal, but in context of a professional video editing server, this executes a video transformation. It's not purely read, and not destructive/financial. Confidence is moderate due to the uninformative description.
