WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why create_board needs a policy

The tool creates a new board resource within Miro's collaborative platform. This is a Write operation because it creates new data (a board) that can subsequently be modified or deleted. It is not Destructive (irreversible), not Execute (no arbitrary code/commands), not Financial (no payment/obligation), and not Read (has side effects).

From the tool's definition Tool name: 'create_board'; description: 'Create a new Miro board'. This creates a new collaborative workspace resource, which is a reversible data creation operation.
