WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why setup_lighting needs a policy

Adding a light node creates a new game object in the scene hierarchy, which is reversible (can be deleted or modified). This is a creative/constructive operation without side effects beyond the intended scene modification. It does not execute arbitrary code, delete data permanently, or involve financial operations.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'setup_lighting' and description 'Add a light node to the scene' indicate creation of a new scene element.
