WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why addition needs a policy

The tool name 'addition' most likely refers to a simple arithmetic addition function (similar to the 'factorial' sibling tool, which also appears to be a math utility). With no description provided, there is low confidence, but given the context of sibling tools like 'factorial' and the generic mathematical name, this is likely a benign computation tool with no financial, destructive, or write side effects.

From the tool's definition Tool name is 'addition' with an empty description. The name alone suggests a basic arithmetic operation, which has no side effects.
