WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why my_tool needs a policy

The tool name 'my_tool' is generic and provides no meaningful information about its function. The description is empty, making classification speculative. Given the sibling tools on this server (audit_code, run_code, run, hire_agent, etc.), there's a wide range of possible behaviors, but without any evidence, the safest classification is 'Other' with very low confidence.

From the tool's definition Tool name is 'my_tool' with no description provided.
