WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why upload_conference_cover_image needs a policy

This tool modifies conference records by adding or replacing a visual asset. It is a Write operation because it creates or updates data reversibly. Severity is medium because malicious misuse could deface conference presentations or waste storage, but the blast radius is limited to a single conference's appearance and the 10MB size limit constrains resource exhaustion.

From the tool's definition Tool uploads and modifies conference data by adding a cover image asset. The description states 'Upload a cover image for a conference' which creates/modifies a stored asset. This is reversible as sibling tools (delete_conference_cover_image) enable removal.
