WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why mikrotik_create_jump_rule needs a policy

It is a Write operation (creates a new firewall rule) but carries high severity because misconfigured firewall rules can redirect, expose, or block traffic — potentially bypassing security controls or disrupting network operations across the router's entire managed network.
