WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why generate_do_template needs a policy

The generated template is boilerplate content that can be edited or discarded. Severity is low because templates are non-critical and easily modified or removed.

From the tool's definition Tool description indicates it 'generates' a do file template. The name 'generate_do_template' and description 'LLM을 활용한 do 파일 템플릿 생성' (Generate do file template using LLM) suggest creation of a new template file.
