WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why attach_foundation needs a policy

The tool name suggests attaching or linking a foundation (likely a security framework, control, or baseline) to an entity in the Mipiti platform. Without a description, exact behavior is unclear, but the naming pattern matches write-oriented sibling tools that create or establish relationships. This is reversible (not Destructive), does not execute external code (not Execute), and does not move money (not Financial).

From the tool's definition Tool name 'attach_foundation' with empty description; sibling tools like 'add_asset', 'add_evidence', 'add_model_to_system' are all Write operations (create/modify) in a security posture platform context.
