WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why autoReschedule needs a policy

This tool modifies existing task records by updating their due dates from past dates to today. It creates or updates markdown files in the repository, which is a reversible write operation. It does not delete data or execute arbitrary code, making Write the most appropriate category. The blast radius is medium because it could reschedule many tasks simultaneously, potentially disrupting planned workflows.

From the tool's definition Move overdue backlog tasks to today. Triggered when backlog tasks have due dates in the past.
