WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why create_project_full needs a policy

Based on the name alone, this tool creates a new project, which is a reversible write operation. Without a description, confidence is moderate; however, if 'project' encompasses significant state (documents, configurations, metadata), misuse could have wider impact than a simple database insert, warranting medium severity. The tool does not appear to execute code, delete data irreversibly, or move money.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'create_project_full' indicates creation of a project entity. The description is empty, preventing full assessment of scope or side effects.
