WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why mikrotik_add_bridge_vlan needs a policy

This tool creates or modifies bridge VLAN settings on a MikroTik router, which is a reversible Write operation. However, it carries high severity because misconfiguration of VLANs can disrupt network segmentation, traffic routing, and access control, potentially affecting all network users. The blast radius is significant in a production network environment, justifying 'high' rather than 'medium' severity.

From the tool's definition Tool name includes 'add' and description states 'Adds VLAN configuration to a bridge', indicating creation/modification of network configuration.
