WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why createPipeline needs a policy

This tool creates a new pipeline in the Follow Up Boss CRM, which is a reversible write operation. It modifies the CRM data structure by adding a new pipeline entity but does not delete, execute code, or move money. Severity is medium because pipeline creation could affect CRM workflow organization and reporting, but the impact is limited to the specific pipeline entity and can be modified or deleted later.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'createPipeline' and description 'Create a pipeline' indicate data creation. The server enables 'CRUD operations' including create/write actions on CRM entities.
