WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why testmo_batch_create_cases needs a policy

This tool creates test cases in bulk within a test management system. Creation is a Write operation (reversible via deletion), though batch operations affecting multiple records elevate severity to medium due to potential for unintended bulk data creation. The empty description reduces confidence slightly, but the naming convention is sufficiently clear.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'testmo_batch_create_cases' indicates batch creation of test cases. The 'batch' prefix combined with 'create' denotes reversible data creation affecting multiple records.
