WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why ia_login needs a policy

Authentication tools that create sessions and manage credentials fall under Write category as they establish or modify system state (session tokens, authentication status). Severity is medium because improper use could grant unauthorized access to document systems, but the tool itself only creates sessions rather than accessing sensitive data directly.

From the tool's definition Tool authenticates and creates a session in iA Document Management System, returning session information on success. This establishes a stateful connection and credential-based access.
