WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why woo_orders_notes_create needs a policy

Adding notes to orders is a write operation that creates new data without irreversible consequences. While it modifies order state, notes can be edited or removed, making it Write rather than Destructive. The medium severity reflects that malicious notes could include fraudulent information or customer harassment, but the blast radius is limited to order metadata rather than financial transactions or data deletion.

From the tool's definition Tool name contains 'create' and description states 'Add a note to an order', indicating creation of new data (order notes) that is reversible through deletion or editing.
