WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why teamsnap_create_tracked_item needs a policy

This tool creates new data objects (tracked items) in the TeamSnap system, which is a Write operation. Severity is medium because: (1) the blast radius is limited to a single team/event's sign-up data, (2) creation is reversible (items can be deleted), and (3) there's no financial impact or permanent damage. The 'Preview by default' qualifier suggests safety guardrails are in place.

From the tool's definition Tool name includes 'create' and description states 'Create a new tracked item (snack sign-up, carpool, etc.)' — explicitly a data creation action.
