WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why create_file_upload_request needs a policy

This tool creates a new file upload request record and obtains a URL for file uploading. While it modifies state by creating a new request, the operation is reversible and low-blast-radius — uploading files is a standard Write operation. The sibling tools (create_applicant, create_association, create_bill_payment) confirm this server uses 'create' for Write-category operations.

From the tool's definition Tool name contains 'create' and description states 'Create a file upload request to get an upload URL' — this creates a new request object and generates a URL resource but does not execute arbitrary code, delete data, or move money.
