WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why add_image needs a policy

This tool creates or adds image resources to a project configuration. While it modifies project state, the action is reversible (images can be removed or replaced) and does not execute code, delete data irreversibly, or move money.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'add_image' and description 'Add a pattern image to a project' indicate creation/modification of project data. The verb 'Add' and the action of uploading/storing an image file represents reversible data modification.
