WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why create_redis_database needs a policy

Creating a Redis database is a write operation that establishes a new persistent data store. While reversible (the database can be deleted), it allocates resources and modifies the infrastructure state. This does not rise to Destructive (no deletion), Execute (no arbitrary code/commands), or Financial (no direct monetary impact).

From the tool's definition Tool name 'create_redis_database' and description 'Create a Redis database' indicate creation of a new data store resource. The word 'create' denotes a reversible write operation that adds infrastructure.
