WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why assets.updateObjectTypeAttribute needs a policy

This tool creates or modifies data in a reversible manner (updating object type attributes). It does not execute arbitrary code, delete data irreversibly, or move money. The medium severity reflects that misconfiguration of CMDB object types could impact asset tracking and downstream systems, but changes are generally reversible through subsequent updates.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'updateObjectTypeAttribute' and description 'Update an attribute on an object type' indicate modification of configuration data in the Assets CMDB system.
