WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why create_organization needs a policy

This tool creates new records in the ConFd API database. It is reversible (an organization can be updated or removed), so it falls under Write rather than Destructive. The severity is medium because creating unauthorized organizations could clutter the database, but the impact is limited compared to financial transactions or data destruction.

From the tool's definition Tool name is 'create_organization' and description states 'Create a new organization' with optional fields for contact info, address, social media, and tags. This is a create operation that adds new data to the system.
