# propose_briefs

Propose ranked content briefs for a cataloged domain, built from data already collected for it: tracked questions where the answer did not cite them, keywords with AI-prompt demand no tracked question covers, People Also Ask questions nothing answers, and terms asked far more of AI assistants than of Google. Each brief names the exact question to answer, a format (9:16 UGC video, on-site answer, or short post), an outline, and the ONLY claims that may be made: the owner's published verified facts, verbatim. Deterministic and read-only: no new data is fetched and nothing is generated, so a brief with no evidence behind it is never returned. Claimed domains only; up to 6 briefs; an empty list means there is not yet enough collected data, never that there is no opportunity.

## Why propose_briefs is rated Low

This tool retrieves and analyzes pre-existing data to generate recommendations and rankings. It has no side effects on the underlying data or external systems. The 'propose' action is informational—generating suggestions, not writing or storing content. No data modification, code execution, destruction, or financial impact occurs.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool description explicitly states 'Deterministic and read-only: no new data is fetched and nothing is generated.' The tool proposes/ranks content briefs using 'data already collected' and produces output based on existing facts without creating, modifying,…"

## Use case

AI agents call propose_briefs to retrieve information from Grounded Aeo without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer)
