WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why manage_manufacturing needs a policy

The tool likely covers the full lifecycle of manufacturing operations (create, update, confirm, produce), making Write the most probable category. However, since the description is extremely sparse, confidence is reduced. Given it interacts with production orders in an ERP, misuse could disrupt critical business operations, warranting high severity.

From the tool's definition 'Manufacturing and production management' - the tool name 'manage_manufacturing' and description imply creating, updating, and controlling manufacturing orders and production workflows in an ERP system.
