Why sprout_draft_campaign needs a policy

This tool creates new draft posts, which is a reversible Write operation. While it modifies the system state by creating content, drafts can be edited or deleted, and are not published to live audiences. The impact is limited to internal data creation within the Sprout Social platform, making it medium severity rather than high.

From the tool's definition Tool name includes 'draft' and description states 'Create tailored draft posts across different profiles under a single campaign.' The verb 'Create' indicates data creation; 'draft' means the posts are not yet published/live.
