If there's an ability that's distinct and overpowered in comparison to humans, but not to a group of things, should it be on a profile?

FYI, I'm trying to follow an unwritten rule. But I'm having trouble due to grey areas in logic.

Examples: All IRL organisms are immune to hacking and EMPs, but that's nigh irrelevent and shouldn't be on profile. And we also have IRL invertabrates resistant/immune to bone manipulation.

We also have animals that have weaker abilities than people that still have their powers because they're distinct and different than people. Like animals with weaker bites and not very sharp teeth still having bodily weaponry due to low surface area. And small size is a superpower that can be added.

So what about cases like IRL tools? They're immune to life and death-based abilities since they're inanimate. That immunity can be argued to not be on there like organisms' immunity to EMPs and hacking. What about abilities like small size, inorganic physiology and self-sustenance to IRL weapon profiles?
 
Tbh its just better to make verse specific page where you explain common abilities and resistances of inanimates objects. Altought by experience on wiki, we do not really grant life/death based resistances to weapons/tools without feats

They're inanimate objects, that's why they have the resistances mentioned for life/death.

Thanks for the input!
 
I mean, sif they have a profile of their own things like weapons or tools should have small size listed but not if they are there just as equipament, in weapon profiles I say you don't need to put things like "inorganic phisiology" or "Resistence to death manipulation" as they are alread assumed to have both naturally, isntead It should be mentioned as a weakness if the weapon isn't inorganic and alive(trough If It's alive It just becomes a character lol)

Trough if a equipament has large size It should be mentioned

I guess that's It
