WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why create_tag needs a policy

Creating a tag is a reversible write operation that adds metadata to the security posture system. While the description is empty, the naming convention and sibling tools (add_model_to_tag, add_asset, add_evidence) clearly indicate this creates or modifies data in the security compliance platform.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'create_tag' indicates creation of a new tag entity. Server context shows Mipiti manages security posture data including assets, models, assumptions, and evidence.
