WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why generate_bulk_zone_tags needs a policy

This tool generates ad serving tags, which are configuration objects that enable ad delivery. Generation creates new data structures that are deployed to ad zones. While not directly modifying existing zones, tag generation creates reversible outputs used for ad serving infrastructure. The bulk nature increases blast radius—a malicious agent could generate incorrect tags across many zones, disrupting ad serving.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'generate_bulk_zone_tags' and description 'Generate ad serving tags for multiple zones at once' indicates creation/generation of ad serving configuration artifacts (tags).
