WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why products_create needs a policy

This tool creates new product records in HubSpot's CRM, which is a reversible write operation. It modifies the system state by adding new data but does not delete, execute code, or move money. The severity is medium because product creation in a CRM can have business process implications (e.g., incorrect product setup affecting sales workflows), but the operation is reversible via deletion or updates.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'products_create' and description states 'Create a product with the given properties and return a copy of the object, including the ID.' The verb 'Create' indicates data creation.
