WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why capture_pipeline_snapshot needs a policy

'Capture a snapshot' implies creating a new record/snapshot object stored in the system, which is a Write operation. It reads deal pipeline data but the primary action is persisting a snapshot. The description is truncated, reducing confidence. Severity is medium as misuse could create spurious snapshot records but is reversible.
