WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why CreateAHORunCache needs a policy

Creating an ElastiCache cache instance is a reversible Write operation—it provisions new infrastructure that can be deleted or reconfigured. It does not permanently destroy data (hence not Destructive), nor does it execute arbitrary code (Execute).

From the tool's definition Tool name 'CreateAHORunCache' indicates cache creation; this modifies infrastructure by adding a new cache instance to ElastiCache.
