Why create_snapshot_policy is rated Medium

This tool creates a new snapshot policy, which is a configuration object in CloudStack infrastructure. While snapshot policies manage automated data retention, the policy itself is a reversible write operation—it can be updated or deleted. The severity is medium because misconfigured snapshot policies could affect backup/recovery posture and storage usage, but the policy creation itself is not destructive.

From the tool's definition Tool name is 'create_snapshot_policy' with description 'Create snapshot policy'. The verb 'create' indicates data creation, and snapshot policies are configurations that can be modified or deleted later, making this a reversible write operation.
