Why write_script needs a policy

This tool creates or modifies script files in a Godot project. While reversible (files can be edited or deleted), writing to script files can inject code that alters game behavior, affects other systems, or introduces bugs. In a Godot engine context where scripts control game logic, this is high-severity Write rather than Execute, because the tool itself does not run the scripts—it only modifies them.

From the tool's definition Tool name is 'write_script' and description states 'Write content to a script file.' The verb 'write' and explicit mention of writing to a script file indicate data modification.
