Why create_pivot_report needs a policy

This tool creates and stores a new report artifact (pivot table) within the Zoho Analytics workspace. While it aggregates existing data without deleting or modifying underlying data, it creates new persistent objects in the system. This is a Write operation (creates new data structures) rather than Read (which would only query/display existing data without persistence).

From the tool's definition create_pivot_report creates a new pivot table report in a specified workspace and table in Zoho Analytics; the tool performs data aggregation and report generation, which are data creation/modification operations.
