WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why update_identity_project_additional_privilege needs a policy

This tool creates or modifies data reversibly by changing privilege settings. While it affects security controls, the change is not permanent and can be reverted (updated again or removed), placing it in Write rather than Destructive. The severity is high because misconfiguring identity privileges could grant excessive access, but it is not financial or immediately destructive.

From the tool's definition Tool description states 'Update an identity's project-specific additional privilege' and server description lists 'update' as a core capability. The tool modifies access control privileges for identities within projects.
