Why create_webhook needs a policy

This tool creates (writes) a webhook configuration and generates a cryptographic secret, which modifies the system state. It is not Read (it writes/persists data), not Destructive (the webhook can typically be unregistered), not Execute in the classical sense (it doesn't run arbitrary code or shell commands), not Financial.

From the tool's definition The tool "Register a webhook endpoint" creates a new webhook configuration and generates a secret credential. These are persistent, non-reversible state changes (the webhook registration persists; the secret is only shown once).
