WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why create_voice_channel needs a policy

Creating a voice channel modifies server configuration by adding a new resource, but this is a standard, reversible administrative action. It does not execute arbitrary code, delete data irreversibly, move money, or trigger external systems. The blast radius of misuse is low—an unauthorized channel creation is disruptive but easily remedied by deletion.

From the tool's definition Tool name is 'create_voice_channel' and description states 'Create a voice channel with custom settings'. This creates a new Discord voice channel, which is a reversible write operation—channels can be deleted and recreated.
