WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why mongodb_insert_one needs a policy

This tool creates new data (insert operation) in MongoDB collections. While insertions are reversible (documents can be deleted), the severity is elevated to 'high' due to the potential for data integrity issues, unintended document creation that cascades into application logic, and the fact that the server supports multiple databases with configurable permissions.

From the tool's definition Tool name is 'mongodb_insert_one' and description explicitly states 'Insert a single document into a MongoDB collection', which creates new data in a reversible manner.
