WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why create_asset_ruleset needs a policy

This tool creates a new ruleset, which is a reversible write operation. It modifies system state by adding a new resource but does not delete data or execute arbitrary code. The severity is medium because misconfigured rulesets could cause unintended automation behavior in the OpenRemote instance, affecting asset management and control, though the action itself is not destructive or financial.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'create_asset_ruleset' and description 'Create a new asset ruleset' indicate data creation.
