WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why aem_folders_create needs a policy

Creating a folder is a write operation that modifies the asset hierarchy by adding new data. It is reversible (folders can be deleted or recreated), so it does not qualify as Destructive. The operation is not reading data (Read), executing arbitrary code (Execute), or moving money (Financial). The sibling tool 'aem_folders_delete' suggests deletion is separate, confirming this tool's scope to creation only.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'aem_folders_create' and description 'Build a request to create a folder in AEM Assets HTTP API' indicate folder creation, which is a reversible write operation.
