WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why ims_graph_create_relationship needs a policy

The 'create' prefix and graph context suggest this tool creates new relationships in the IMS graph backend, modifying stored data reversibly. Without a description, confidence is reduced, but the naming pattern and sibling tools (graph_create_bug, graph_create_component, graph_create_decision) establish Write as the appropriate category.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'ims_graph_create_relationship' contains 'create_relationship', indicating data creation/modification in a graph structure. Description is empty, limiting confidence. Sibling tools show this server manages memory graphs and architectural data.
