WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why create_discount_code needs a policy

Creating a discount code is a reversible write operation that modifies shop data (creates a new discount). It does not execute arbitrary code, delete data, or move money directly. However, it has medium severity because discount codes can affect revenue if misconfigured, and an agent could create invalid or exploitative discounts. The tool is clearly a write operation, not execute or destructive.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'create_discount_code' and description 'Set the customer-facing code for a basic GraphQL code discount node' indicate creation of a new discount code resource.
