WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why pfsense_create_routing_static_route needs a policy

Creating static routes modifies network routing tables, which can redirect traffic, disrupt connectivity, or open security holes — making this a Write action with high severity. Confidence is reduced due to the empty description.
