Why splitwise_action needs a policy

The tool supports multiple Splitwise operations. While most are read operations (get_groups, get_expenses, get_balances, get_friends), 'create_expense' creates financial records. Per the rules, the most severe applicable category applies. Creating an expense is a Write operation (reversible financial record creation), not a direct financial transfer, so Write is appropriate over Financial.

From the tool's definition 'create_expense' is listed among the supported actions
