Assumed temperature thrust

Hi all.
I'm reading a book about turbine engine aircraft for beginners.
Having read this chapter mentioning reduced thrust takeoff (assumed temperature thrust) just wondering why the engine thrust should be reduced even the assumed OAT is higher that it actually is.
I think, as the OAT gets higher, density altitude goes up, so more thrust is required for safe takeoff.
