# month_brief

This tool looks up a deterministic rules engine. Same day → same answer. Do not invent pillars or fortune claims. Call when the user asks 这个月势能怎么样 / 这个月该打磨还是该收 / 这个月哪天发布 / 这个月节奏怎么样 / 流月基调 / 做不做某事 / 哪几天适合上线 / which days to publish. Returns this month’s fold year (same pillar), baseline tone, dated sky marks, and a do/drop list. Always surface the fold-year line and ask what they lived that year. Public · local · no API key. Preview ≠ prediction.

## Why month_brief is rated Critical

An AI agent that decides to call month_brief doesn't hesitate, doesn't double-check, and doesn't stop at one. Whatever it removes from Balance Engine is gone. There is no undo for destructive operations.

## Use case

AI agents call month_brief to permanently remove resources in Balance Engine, typically in cleanup and lifecycle workflows. It does its job in a single call, and there is no undo.

## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer)

Verdict: **Hidden**. Enforced by the PolicyLayer MCP gateway (https://policylayer.com/mcp-gateway) before a call reaches Balance Engine:

```json
{
  "version": "1",

  "hide": [
    "month_brief"
  ]
