WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why mittwald_user_api_token_create needs a policy

This tool creates new API tokens that grant authentication access. While creation is reversible (tokens can be deleted), the blast radius is high because: (1) a compromised MCP agent could create tokens usable by attackers for persistent access, (2) the tokens would bypass the original OAuth authentication mechanism, (3) an attacker with tokens could access user resources across multiple sessions.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'mittwald_user_api_token_create' and description 'Create a new API token' indicate creation of authentication credentials.
