WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why mysql_create_table needs a policy

Creating a table adds new database schema structures but is reversible through drop_table operations. It does not delete data, execute arbitrary code, or move funds. Given the presence of mysql_drop_table as a sibling tool, table creation is clearly intended as a reversible schema modification.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'mysql_create_table' combined with description '创建表' (Chinese for 'create table') indicates table creation functionality. This is a reversible write operation that modifies database schema.
