WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why alm_bulk_create_test_cases needs a policy

Creation of test cases is a reversible write operation—cases can be modified or deleted later. 'Bulk' operations have wider blast radius than single creates (higher severity than a singular write), but remain in Write category since they are not destructive, do not execute arbitrary code, and do not involve financial transactions.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'alm_bulk_create_test_cases' indicates creation of multiple test case entities in HP ALM. The 'bulk' prefix suggests batch operations affecting many records.
