Why adt_cds_data_preview needs a policy

This tool retrieves and displays data from CDS views without side effects. The explicit 'Read-only' designation and preview-only functionality confirm it is a data retrieval operation with no ability to create, modify, delete, or execute arbitrary commands. Low severity due to minimal blast radius—an agent can only view existing data in predetermined CDS views.

From the tool's definition Tool description explicitly states 'Read-only' and 'Preview the data exposed by a CDS view'. It 'Returns structured { columns, rows }' without modification capabilities.
