WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why roboflow_upload_images_batch needs a policy

This tool creates and adds data (images) to a dataset in a reversible manner. It does not execute arbitrary code, delete data, or move money. The 'batch' nature and concurrent processing increase the potential blast radius if misused (e.g., uploading many unwanted or sensitive images), justifying medium severity. Confidence is high because the description and name clearly indicate a write operation.

From the tool's definition Tool name is 'roboflow_upload_images_batch' and description states 'Upload many images concurrently' — upload is a create/write operation that adds new image data to a Roboflow dataset.
