WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why confluence_create_page needs a policy

This tool creates new content in Confluence, a content management system. Creation is a Write operation—reversible through deletion. The blast radius is medium: an AI could create unwanted pages, flood the workspace, or create pages with misleading/malicious content, but the damage is recoverable by deletion.

From the tool's definition Tool description explicitly states "Create a new Confluence page" which is a creation operation. Accepts body content (storage XHTML) and optional parentId for nesting, indicating reversible data modification.
