WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why memory_bank_install_predefined_templates needs a policy

This tool creates new template records in the memory bank system. While marked as a one-time setup operation, it still irreversibly adds data structures to the database. It is not Read (no query-only operation), not Execute (doesn't run arbitrary code or commands), not Destructive (templates can theoretically be removed), and not Financial. Write is appropriate because it creates/initializes new data.

From the tool's definition Tool description states it 'Install built-in project templates' and 'add default templates', which are create/initialization operations that modify the system state by adding new template data to the MongoDB backend.
