WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why generate_image_gpt_mini needs a policy

This tool creates new image files, which is a reversible write operation. It does not execute arbitrary code, delete data, or move money. Severity is medium because generated images could potentially be used for misinformation, but the tool itself has no destructive capability and the impact depends on downstream use by the agent.

From the tool's definition Tool description states 'Generate an image using OpenAI' and server description confirms it 'allows users to create and save images.' The verb 'create' and action of saving images are write operations that produce new data artifacts.
