WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why pushtodisplay_create_board needs a policy

This tool creates a new board, which is a reversible write operation. It does not execute arbitrary code, delete data irreversibly, or involve financial transactions. The medium severity reflects that malicious board creation could clutter the display system or facilitate social engineering via fake boards on shared devices, but the impact is bounded and reversible through the sibling delete_board tool.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'pushtodisplay_create_board' and description 'Create a new board' indicate creation of a new data object. The sibling tools confirm this server manages board resources (create, update, delete, get, list operations typical of a CRUD interface).
