Why upload_file needs a policy

This tool creates and stores a new file attachment on a page, which is a reversible write operation. While it modifies the system state by adding data, it does not execute arbitrary code, destroy data, or move funds. The severity is medium rather than low because uncontrolled file uploads could consume storage, introduce malicious content, or expose sensitive information depending on downstream processing.

From the tool's definition Tool description states it "Upload[s] a file to a FuseBase page" and "Returns the attachment ID and URL path", indicating creation of new data artifacts.
