WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why salesforce_create_record needs a policy

The tool creates new records in Salesforce, a major CRM platform. This is a reversible write operation with potential business impact (new contacts, leads, opportunities, or accounts could be created), justifying 'high' severity. Confidence is 0.85 rather than higher due to the empty description, which prevents confirmation of record type or any guardrails.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'salesforce_create_record' explicitly indicates creation of a record in Salesforce. The 'create' verb denotes a write operation that modifies data. Description is empty, reducing confidence slightly.
