What manage_aws_glue_databases does on AWS IoT SiteWise MCP Server

WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why manage_aws_glue_databases needs a policy

AWS Glue databases are schema containers that can be created, updated, and modified. The 'manage' verb suggests Write-category operations (create, update) rather than Read or Destructive. Without explicit description, we cannot confirm if deletion is in scope; if deletions were included, this would escalate to Destructive.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'manage_aws_glue_databases' indicates database management operations; 'manage' typically encompasses create, update, and modify actions. Description is empty, reducing confidence.
