WHAT IT DOES

What seed_email_templates does on Prowpt MCP Server

WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why seed_email_templates needs a policy

The tool inserts new email template records into a project. It creates data (factory defaults) but explicitly skips existing slugs, meaning it does not overwrite or delete existing data. This is a reversible write/create operation, not destructive. Severity is medium because it modifies project configuration (email templates) that could affect communications.
