WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why rename_project needs a policy

Renaming a project is a Write operation—it creates or modifies data (the project name) in a reversible manner. If a mistake is made, the project can be renamed again. It is not Destructive because the action is undoable and the project data itself remains intact.

From the tool's definition Tool name is 'rename_project' and description states 'Rename a project.' This modifies project metadata (the name) reversibly.
