Why submit_leave_request needs a policy

This tool creates a new leave request record, which is a reversible write operation. It modifies the system state by adding a leave request that can presumably be deleted or withdrawn. The severity is medium because misuse could disrupt workforce planning or create false attendance records, but the impact is limited to a single employee's leave request and is reversible (unlike destructive deletion). Confidence is 0.
