+     *
+     * For a tool with a {@link McpTool.dexEffect}, the session's {@link ToolPolicy} for the tool may keep or
+     * raise its safety but never lowers it. The call gets the more conservative of `dexEffect` and the policy's
+     * effect, ranked `read`, `idempotent_write`, `non_idempotent_write`, then `unclassified`. It waits for
+     * approval when the policy sets `requiresApproval`. When the policy leaves `requiresApproval` out, the call
+     * waits when {@link McpTool.isApprovalRecommended} is `true` or the policy's effect requires approval by
+     * default. Without a policy, it waits exactly when {@link McpTool.isApprovalRecommended} is `true`. A write
+     * runs in the model's order after the turn's earlier writes (`DeferredToolCall.ordered`). Changed in
+     * 0.5.0: for a tool with a `dexEffect`, a {@link ToolPolicy} may raise the effect or the approval but never
+     * lowers the effect.
      * @param turn - The `RunModel` context.
      * @param call - Framework tool call ID, the {@link McpTool.name} the model called, the arguments as JSON
      * text, and optionally `listedTool`, the {@link McpTool} the listing offered for this model call, as the

+     * built-in loop runner passes it, so a refresh that finished meanwhile cannot change or remove it. Without it, the

      * @returns The call to put in `ToolCallsRequested.toolCalls`.
      * @throws {RangeError} When no `listedTool` is given and {@link listTools} has not run or the tool is unknown.
