WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why suppressByRule needs a policy

This tool modifies the state of security findings by suppressing them based on a rule ID. This is a reversible write operation (suppressions can typically be deleted, as evidenced by the sibling 'deleteSuppression' tool). Misuse could hide legitimate security vulnerabilities from analysis results, hence medium severity.
