WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why set_auto_schedule needs a policy

This tool modifies scheduling configuration on a social media platform, which is a write operation. While it affects post publishing behavior, it does not irreversibly delete data (not Destructive), does not move money (not Financial), and does not directly execute external operations—it only sets up configuration.

From the tool's definition Tool description states 'Create or update an auto-posting schedule' — both create and update operations are explicitly reversible modifications of configuration data. The tool queues posts to scheduled time slots rather than executing them immediately.
