WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why create_time_entry needs a policy

This tool creates new time tracking records in OpenProject. While it modifies state, time entries are typically reversible (can be edited or deleted later), distinguishing this from Destructive operations. The severity is medium because misuse could create inaccurate billing/payroll records or inflate project metrics, but impacts are generally limited to time tracking data and reversible.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'create_time_entry' and description 'Create a new time entry' indicate data creation. Time entries are records of work hours/effort that can be reversed (edited or deleted), making this a Write operation rather than Destructive.
