WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why editor_create_scene needs a policy

This tool creates a new scene file, which is a reversible write operation. While scenes are project assets, they can be deleted or replaced, making this Write rather than Destructive.

From the tool's definition Tool description states 'Create and open a new scene in the editor.' The verb 'create' indicates data creation, and scene files are persistent project assets in Godot.
