WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why create_scatter_plot needs a policy

This tool creates a new data visualization artifact (a scatter plot). While creation operations are typically Write category, the blast radius is minimal because: (1) it generates a chart/visualization for display purposes only, (2) it does not modify underlying data, (3) it cannot corrupt systems or cause financial harm, and (4) it is reversible (the plot can be deleted or regenerated).

From the tool's definition Tool name 'create_scatter_plot' and description 'Create scatter plot with advanced customization' indicate creation of a visualization object.
