WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why create_customer needs a policy

The tool creates new customer entries in a CRM database. This is a Write operation because it creates data that can be modified or deleted later (as evidenced by the sibling delete_customer tool). Severity is medium because: (1) it modifies sensitive customer data in a financial services context, (2) but the operation is reversible via delete_customer, and (3) it doesn't directly move money or delete data.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'create_customer' and description '新規顧客（個人）を作成します' (creates a new individual customer) indicate data creation. This is a reversible write operation on customer records in an insurance CRM system.
