WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why create_batch needs a policy

This is a Write operation as it creates new business records (batch of items) with reversible side effects. The blast radius is medium because creating batches could impact inventory tracking and sales records, but the operation is reversible through deletion or correction. It does not execute arbitrary code, destroy data irreversibly, or move money.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'create_batch' and description 'Create a new batch of items' indicate the tool creates new data (batch records) within the consignment/retail system.
