WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why godot_create_scene needs a policy

This tool creates new scene files in a Godot project. While file creation is reversible (scenes can be deleted), it modifies the project structure by adding new assets. This falls under Write rather than Read (which only retrieves data) or Destructive (which irreversibly removes data).

From the tool's definition Tool description states it 'Creates a new empty scene file (.tscn)' - the verb 'Creates' indicates a write operation that adds new data to the project. The tool adds a new file to the Godot project, which is a reversible modification operation.
