WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why coolify.create_app needs a policy

Creating an application in a deployment platform is a reversible write operation—new apps can be updated or deleted later. While it has side effects (infrastructure changes), it does not execute arbitrary code, delete data irreversibly, or move money.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'create_app' and description 'Create a new application in a project' directly indicate data creation. This modifies the Coolify infrastructure by adding a new application resource.
