WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why move_files needs a policy

Moving files modifies their location within the filesystem but does not execute code, delete data irreversibly, or move money. It is reversible (files can be moved back). While it does alter data organization, it falls under Write category as a metadata modification operation.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'move_files' and description indicating file movement operation ('移动百度网盘中的文件到新目录' translates to 'move files in Baidu Netdisk to new directory'). This is a reversible modification of file metadata/location rather than deletion or execution.
