Why task_create_bulk needs a policy

The tool creates multiple task records, which is a Write operation (reversible data creation). Severity is medium because bulk creation could impact many records, but it's reversible via deletion. Confidence is 0.75 rather than higher because the description is empty, leaving some ambiguity about exact behavior, though the name and server context strongly suggest task creation.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'task_create_bulk' indicates bulk creation of tasks. The server is described as a 'task management server' with 'sqlite-vec' backend. Creating tasks in bulk represents data modification at scale.
