WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why create_rfq needs a policy

Creating an RFQ is a reversible write operation that initiates a financial transaction request on a trading exchange. While it doesn't execute trades or move funds directly (which would be Execute or Financial), it creates a binding or semi-binding request that could commit the user to financial obligations depending on quote acceptance.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'create_rfq' and description 'Create an RFQ (Request for Quote)' indicates creation of a financial instrument request.
