"""Risk classes for tools — the intrinsic side-effect category that drives permission
gating (and, later in Phase 2, unattended Inbox routing).
This replaces the hardcoded ``WRITE_TOOLS`` / ``SHELL_TOOL`` name sets the permission engine
used to carry inline: risk is now a declared property a single ``classify`` reads.
A tool's *effective* risk = an optional user-local override (Phase 2) ?? the base
classification here. Built-in vetted tools are classified by name; anything else falls back
to its aisuite metadata (``requires_approval`` → external) or is treated as read.

# is model-chosen free text — the same outbound channel — so it gates too (spec §2.2).
# `browser_open_url` is the same channel by another name (OPE-111): classifying it here
# gives it the full egress treatment (domain allowlist, host-named cards) instead of a bare
# approval gate. Its old sibling `browser_read_url` was retired upstream; what replaced it,
# `browser_read_page`, takes no URL and only reads the already-open page, so it is a
# genuine read and stays out.
# Contact-enrichment lookups are the `web_search` case with worse payloads: a fixed
# destination (Apollo/Hunter), a model-chosen query — except the query IS someone's name
# and email, and the someone is a third party who never agreed to it. Catalogued as reads
# they ran with no card at all, including in Discuss mode (OPE-117 review follow-up).
