WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why createCustomer needs a policy

This tool creates new customer records in a payment processing system (Abacate Pay). While not destructive (reversible), not financial (doesn't move money), and not execute (doesn't run arbitrary code), it is a Write operation that modifies persistent state.

From the tool's definition Tool description states 'Cria um novo cliente' (creates a new customer). The server manages financial operations (billings, payments, PIX QR codes) and customer creation is a write operation that creates new records in a payment processing system.
