WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why mikrotik_disable_dns_static needs a policy

Disabling a DNS entry modifies network configuration state but does not permanently delete it—the entry remains and can be re-enabled. This is a Write operation (reversible modification) rather than Destructive (irreversible deletion). The severity is medium because misconfiguration of DNS could disrupt network services or enable malicious redirects, but the impact is scoped to a single DNS entry and is reversible.

From the tool's definition The tool name is 'mikrotik_disable_dns_static' and the description states it 'Disables a static DNS entry'. This modifies DNS configuration by disabling (not deleting) an existing entry, which is a reversible change.
