WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why UpdateCloudCreds needs a policy

This tool modifies cloud credentials records, which is a reversible write operation. However, the severity is elevated to 'high' rather than 'medium' because compromised credentials pose significant security risks—an AI agent that misconfigures or overwrites cloud credentials could lock out legitimate access, expose authentication tokens, or enable unauthorized cloud resource access.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'UpdateCloudCreds' combined with description 'Edit a cloud credentials record' indicates modification of existing authentication data.
