WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why create_social_post needs a policy

This tool creates social media posts, which is a write operation—it generates new data/content in an external system (GoHighLevel's social posting functionality). The effects are reversible (posts can be deleted or modified), so it does not qualify as Destructive. Creating social posts does not move money (not Financial), execute arbitrary code (not Execute), or retrieve data (not Read).

From the tool's definition Tool name 'create_social_post' and description 'Create or schedule a GoHighLevel social post' indicate creation of new content with reversible effects (posts can be deleted, edited, or scheduled).
