WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why create_sprite_frames needs a policy

This tool creates a new resource file (.tres) in the Godot project filesystem. This is a Write operation because it creates new data (a SpriteFrames resource) that is reversibly modifiable or deletable. The severity is medium because while it creates files, the impact is scoped to animation frame resources in a game development context, not system-critical or financial operations.

From the tool's definition create_sprite_frames - Creates a SpriteFrames .tres resource with named animations. This creates and writes a new resource file to the Godot project.
