WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why create_teacher needs a policy

This tool creates a new teacher record in the Eduframe system. Creation is a reversible write operation (the record can be updated or deleted later). The blast radius is medium because it creates an organizational resource that may affect system state, user lists, and potentially course assignments, but the damage is limited and reversible compared to destructive operations.

From the tool's definition Tool name: 'create_teacher'. Description: 'Create a new teacher'. The verb 'Create' indicates data creation, a reversible write operation. Server description confirms it 'enables... creating... resources' through the Eduframe API.
