WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why create_svcb_record needs a policy

DNS record creation is a Write operation: it creates and commits data (the SVCB record) to the domain's DNS configuration, with reversible effects (records can be deleted or modified). The severity is high because misuse could redirect service traffic, intercept communications, or disrupt service discovery for the domain, affecting availability and security of services relying on correct SVCB records.

From the tool's definition create_svcb_record performs DNS record creation—it modifies DNS configuration for a domain by adding a service binding record, as evidenced by the tool name 'create_svcb_record' and description 'Create an SVCB record (general service binding) for a domain.'…
