/**
 * Shared tool-invocation policy, gated in front of every tool handler.
 *
 * Both consumers — `mana-mcp` (external MCP agents) and `mana-ai` (internal
 * mission runner) — call `evaluatePolicy()` immediately before dispatching
 * to `spec.handler()`. Keeping the decision logic here (rather than in each
 * service) guarantees a single source of truth and makes policy tests
 * straightforward.
 *
 * The gate is intentionally conservative: it decides allow/deny from the
 * spec's static metadata (`scope`, `policyHint`), the per-user settings
 * (opt-in list for destructive tools), and a rolling rate-limit window.
 * Freetext inputs are inspected for classic prompt-injection markers and
 * surfaced via the `reminder` field — never blocked, because false-positive
 * rate is too high to enforce.
 *
 * See `docs/plans/agent-loop-improvements-m1.md` §1 for context.
