WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why create_and_set_default_script needs a policy

This tool creates or modifies a startup script and sets it as default—a reversible configuration change. It does not delete data (Destructive), execute arbitrary commands (Execute), or move money (Financial). While startup scripts could potentially be executed when instances launch, the tool itself is creating/configuring the script, not directly executing it.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'create_and_set_default_script' indicates creation and modification of startup scripts. Sibling tools 'create_startup_script' and 'get_instance_startup_script' confirm this server manages scripts for instances.
