WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why batch_add_tasks needs a policy

This tool creates new task records in Google Sheets, which is reversible data modification (Write category). It operates on project tasks within a spreadsheet. Severity is medium because batch operations could create numerous unwanted records, but the impact is limited to a task management system and changes are reversible via deletion.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'batch_add_tasks' indicates creation of multiple task records. Server description mentions 'full lifecycle management of project tasks' and 'batch operations'. The plural 'tasks' and 'add' verb confirm Write semantics (create/insert).
