WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why jira_batch_create_issues needs a policy

This tool creates new issues in Jira, which is a reversible write operation. It can generate multiple issues at once, potentially creating clutter or unwanted records, but the action is not destructive (issues can be deleted) and not financial. The 'batch' nature increases blast radius by allowing bulk creation in a single call, warranting medium severity.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'jira_batch_create_issues' and description 'Create multiple Jira issues in one request' explicitly indicate data creation/modification operations.
