https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/OSM_↔_Wikidata

According to the new wiki entry, OSM ↔ Wikidata is a tool that is supposed
to automatically find all wikidata entries for OpenStreetMap features in a
certain area, and make it easy to add the tags semi-automatically.

This seems like it will invite violations of the Automated Edits policy (
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Automated_edits)

"OSM ↔ Wikidata (osm-wikidata-link) is a web based tool that can be used to
semi-automatically add the Wikidata tag to an OpenStreetMap object. It is
developed by  Edward Betts (Edward) (and others github contributors) in
Python and web technologies (HTML/CSS/JS)."

"This tool displays results in tabs:

   1. Match candidates: display the potential OSM objects matching Wikidata
   item
      - This is the main tab. It allows user to match and add wikidata
      <https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:wikidata>=* tags to OSM
      objects
   2. Already tagged: display the OSM object and his wikidata
   <https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:wikidata>=* key
   3. No match: display Wikidata item without match in OSM
      - This tab allows user to edit OSM and add the wikidata
      <https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:wikidata>=* tag manually
   4. Wikidata query: display the Wikidata SPARQL query."


What should we ask the developers to do so that this tool won't be
encouraging every to violate the Automated Edits policy?
