WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why add_product needs a policy

This tool creates new data in the product catalog, which is a write operation. It is reversible (the product can be deleted or modified later), so it does not qualify as Destructive. The severity is medium because misuse could result in spam products, incorrect inventory data, or confusion in the catalog, but the impact is localized to product data and reversible.

From the tool's definition Tool description states 'Add a new product and return the created object.' The verb 'add' and the action of creating a new product entry in the catalog constitute a write operation that modifies the product database.
