WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why resolve_create_magic_mask needs a policy

The description is empty, so classification relies solely on the tool name. 'create' implies a Write operation that generates a new magic mask object within a DaVinci Resolve project. This is reversible (the mask can be deleted), so it does not rise to Destructive. Confidence is low due to absent description.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'resolve_create_magic_mask' — 'create' suggests writing/generating a new resource (a magic mask) in DaVinci Resolve.
