## Parameters

| Parameter | Type | Required | Description |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `dryRun` | boolean | no | Defaults to TRUE: returns a preview of the exact write (payload + endpoint) without executing. Set false to execute live. |

| `evidence` | object | no |  |
| `partnerId` | string | yes |  |
| `confidence` | number | no |  |
| `auditReason` | string | no | Required (non-empty) for live execution: why this write is happening. Stored for audit. |
| `opportunityId` | string | yes |  |
| `idempotencyKey` | string | no | Required for live execution: unique key (e.g. a ULID) sent as the Idempotency-Key header. Reuse the SAME key on retry so the write cannot double-book. |

## Why attribute_partner_to_deal is rated High

attribute_partner_to_deal triggers real processes with real consequences. An agent gone sideways doesn't fire it once. It starts dozens of builds, sends mass notifications, or burns through compute before anyone looks up.

Risk signals: High parameter count (11 properties)

## Use case

AI agents invoke attribute_partner_to_deal to trigger actions in Starfield. What it does depends on the arguments the agent supplies, and its effects often reach beyond the immediate call: builds kicked off, notifications sent, workflows started.
