What create_admin_password_reset_token does on Mealie MCP Server

WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why create_admin_password_reset_token needs a policy

This tool creates a password reset token, which is a Write operation (generating a new token artifact). However, the severity is high because misuse by an AI agent could allow an attacker to reset any user's password, effectively leading to account takeover. The action itself is reversible (a token can be invalidated), but the downstream consequences of token misuse are severe.
