  "policy": {
    "id": "uuid",
    "organization_id": "uuid",
    "name": "FERPA Compliance",
    "enabled": true,
    "detection_categories": ["pii", "education"],
    "action": "block",
    "sensitivity_threshold": 0.3,
    "domain_thresholds": { "pii": 0.3, "education": 0.2 },
    "custom_rules": {},
    "is_default": true,
    "created_at": "2026-01-15T10:00:00Z"
  }
}

When is_default is set to true, any existing default policy in your organization is automatically unset. The new policy inherits the template's detection categories, action, thresholds, and custom rules.
