WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why create_shared_recipe_record needs a policy

This tool creates new data (a shared recipe record) but does not execute arbitrary code, delete data irreversibly, or move financial assets. Creation is reversible through deletion or modification, making it a Write-category risk. Severity is medium because creating shared records could expose data to unintended audiences or pollute the recipe database if misused by an agent, but the impact is recoverable.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'create_shared_recipe_record' and description 'Create a shared recipe record' indicate creation of a new data record. The verb 'create' and the action of establishing a new shared recipe constitutes a reversible write operation.
