WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why codecks_create_card needs a policy

This tool creates new project management cards/tasks, which is a reversible write operation. It modifies the project state by adding data but does not delete, execute code, move money, or perform irreversible actions. The medium severity reflects that a misconfigured AI agent could create numerous cards or spam the project, causing workflow disruption, but the effect is recoverable through deletion.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'codecks_create_card' and description 'Create a new card in a deck' explicitly indicates creation of new data in a project management system.
