WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why create_brand needs a policy

This tool creates a new brand profile resource with configuration parameters (colors, styling). This is a reversible write operation—brand profiles can be updated or deleted later (as evidenced by the sibling tool 'delete_brand'). It does not execute arbitrary code, delete data irreversibly, move money, or expose external system access.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'create_brand' and description 'Create a brand profile with your colors and styling' indicate creation of new data (brand profile) with reversible modifications.
