WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why generate_blog_cover needs a policy

This tool creates a new image using AI generation and uploads it to cloud storage (Qiniu CDN). It produces and writes new data/files to external storage. While it involves an external API call and file upload, these are reversible actions (the uploaded file could be deleted), placing it in the Write category rather than Execute. The blast radius is medium as it consumes API credits and cloud storage resources.
