WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why create_conversation needs a policy

This tool creates a new conversation record, a reversible operation that adds data to the system. It does not execute arbitrary code, delete data irreversibly, or move money.

From the tool's definition Tool description states 'Create a new conversation with a contact' — uses the verb 'create' which indicates data generation and modification. Tool name includes 'create' further confirming write semantics.
