WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why hunter_batch_task_create needs a policy

The name indicates creating a new resource (a batch task) on the Hunter platform, which is a Write operation. Based on the server description context, this likely initiates a batch query or export task. Confidence is reduced because the description is empty, so exact behavior is inferred from name and sibling tools.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'hunter_batch_task_create' suggests creation of a batch task; server description mentions 'batch queries, and export tasks'
