WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why add_asset needs a policy

The 'add_asset' tool creates new security model data within the Mipiti platform. This is a Write operation as it modifies data reversibly. Severity is medium because misuse could populate the threat model with incorrect or misleading asset information, affecting security posture assessments, but the effects are not irreversible (assets can be removed) nor do they cause code execution or financial impact.

From the tool's definition Tool name is 'add_asset' which semantically indicates creation of a new asset in the Mipiti security posture platform.
