`POST /policy`

*Create AI Policy*

Create a new AI governance policy to control and monitor AI usage within your organization. Policies can be applied at the organization, workspace, or repository level to enforce compliance and security standards.

**Policy Scope Levels:**

* **Organization-Level**: Applies to all workspaces and repositories in the organization
* **Workspace-Level**: Applies to all repositories within a specific workspace
* **Repository-Level**: Applies only to a specific repository

**Key Features:**

* Flexible policy content definition using natural language
* Risk-based classification (LOW, MEDIUM, HIGH)
* Configurable action types for violation responses
* Hierarchical policy inheritance
* Audit trail with creator and updater tracking

**Important Notes:**

* Users must belong to the organization to create policies
* Appropriate permissions are required based on policy scope level
* If creating a repository-level policy, the repository must belong to the specified workspace
* Policies are evaluated in real-time during AI operations
* Policy content should clearly define what is allowed or prohibited

**Security:**

* Policies respect organizational and workspace boundaries
* Permission checks ensure users can only create policies at appropriate levels
* All policy creation operations are logged for audit purposes
