Why nasa_neo needs a policy

This tool retrieves astronomical data about asteroids from a public NASA API. It has no side effects, cannot modify data, execute code, delete records, or transfer funds. The blast radius of misuse is minimal—an agent could only request excessive data or spam the API, which is a resource concern rather than a security risk. This is a straightforward read operation.
