WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why create_network_acl_list needs a policy

This tool creates a new network access control list, which is a reversible Write operation. While it modifies infrastructure configuration, it does not delete data, execute code, move money, or trigger irreversible changes. The blast radius is medium because misconfigured ACL lists could potentially allow unintended network access, but the operation itself is reversible through update or deletion.

From the tool's definition Tool name contains 'create' and description states 'Create a new Network ACL list for VPC', indicating data creation operation.
