WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why coolify.create_project needs a policy

This tool creates a new project resource in the Coolify deployment system. Creation is a reversible Write operation—projects can subsequently be modified or deleted. The severity is medium because unintended project creation could consume resources and complicate infrastructure state, but it does not destroy data, move money, or execute arbitrary code.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'create_project' and description 'Create a new project in Coolify' clearly indicate data creation. The action is reversible (projects can be deleted via coolify.delete_app and similar deletion tools on the server).
