Why search_logs needs a policy

This tool retrieves and queries log data with no side effects. It supports filtering and searching within logs but does not create, modify, delete, or execute operations. The customQueryCondition parameter allows advanced filtering but remains a read operation. This is a standard observability/diagnostic tool with minimal blast radius.

From the tool's definition Tool 'Fetch recent runtime logs' with parameters for filtering by time window, log types, and levels. No modification, deletion, or execution capabilities described. Returns log data only.
