WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why create_stage_channel needs a policy

Creating a stage channel is a write operation that creates a new Discord resource. It is reversible (the channel can be deleted), causes no irreversible data loss, does not execute arbitrary code, and does not involve financial transactions. The blast radius is low since it only creates a new empty channel without affecting existing data or permissions in a destructive manner.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'create_stage_channel' and description 'Create a stage channel for presentations and lectures' indicate channel creation, which is a reversible write operation. Stage channels are Discord channel types used for hosting audio events.
