WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why smartsuite_create_record needs a policy

The tool creates new records in a database application, which is a reversible Write operation. It modifies application state by adding data. Severity is medium because widespread misuse could flood the database with unwanted records, but the operation is reversible via the companion tool smartsuite_delete_records. Requires elevated permissions (readwrite or admin mode) which mitigates risk.

From the tool's definition Tool name contains 'create' and description states 'Create a new record in a SmartSuite application.' This is explicitly a data creation operation.
