WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why create_bullet_list needs a policy

Creating a bullet list in a Google Doc is a reversible modification operation that adds formatted content to a document. This is a Write action (creates/modifies data reversibly) rather than Read (retrieval only), Execute (arbitrary code), Destructive (irreversible deletion), or Financial. Severity is medium because misuse could clutter or deface documents but doesn't destroy data or have severe consequences.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'create_bullet_list' and server context indicating ability to 'create' and 'edit' Google Docs; empty description limits specificity but sibling tools like 'append_to_google_doc' and 'apply_text_style' confirm this server modifies document content.
