WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why create_comments needs a policy

Creating comments is a reversible Write operation that adds new data to the system without destructive effects. Comments can typically be edited or deleted later. The lack of a description lowers confidence slightly, but the tool name and server context clearly indicate data creation rather than deletion, execution, or financial operations.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'create_comments' indicates creation of new comment records. The server integrates with TAPD for agile project management and enables data modification workflows.
