WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why create_video needs a policy

This tool creates a new AI-generated video resource via an external API. It is a creation/write operation that produces a new artifact. While it consumes API credits (potentially implying a financial cost), the tool itself does not directly move money or commit financial obligations — it generates content. The most applicable category is Write.
