Why process_screenshot needs a policy

This tool performs text extraction from images, which is a read-only operation. While it processes data, it has no side effects on any system state, does not create or modify records, and does not execute arbitrary code or commands. The blast radius of misuse is minimal — at worst, an agent could extract unintended text from screenshots, but this causes no harm to data integrity or system security.

From the tool's definition Tool description explicitly states 'extract text using OCR' and 'process a screenshot' — these are query/retrieval operations with no modification or deletion of data.
