WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why duplicate_project needs a policy

This tool creates a new project entity derived from an existing one. The action is reversible (the duplicate can be deleted), and it does not destroy data or execute arbitrary code. It fits the Write category: creates or modifies data reversibly.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'duplicate_project' and description 'Create a copy of an existing project with customizable options' indicate data creation/replication. The verb 'create' and 'copy' are classic Write operations that generate new reversible records.
