WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why mine_create_list needs a policy

This tool creates a new list artifact in the AllianceMine system, which is a reversible Write operation. The impact is localized to list creation without side effects on genomic data queries or system state. Severity is low because creating a list has minimal blast radius—it can be deleted, and does not modify existing data or trigger external operations.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'mine_create_list' explicitly performs a 'Create' action to generate a new list in AllianceMine. The description states 'Create a new list' which is reversible data creation.
