WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why create_from_csv_text needs a policy

This tool creates a new Power BI dashboard artifact from CSV input. It modifies the system state by generating a new file/resource (a .pbix dashboard), which is a reversible Write operation. The severity is medium because misuse could generate unwanted dashboards that consume resources or create data artifacts, but the action is reversible (dashboards can be deleted).

From the tool's definition Tool description states 'Create a Power BI dashboard from raw CSV text' — the verb 'create' and the action of generating a new .pbix file represents data creation/modification.
