WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why salesforce_manage_object needs a policy

This tool creates or modifies metadata (custom objects, fields, relationships, sharing settings) but does not irreversibly delete data or invoke destructive operations. While high-impact due to schema-level changes that could affect many users and records, the operations are technically reversible (objects can be deleted, settings reverted).

From the tool's definition Tool enables 'Create' and 'Update' operations on Salesforce custom objects, explicitly stating 'Create new custom objects' and 'Modify existing object settings'. These are reversible write operations that change metadata structure.
