# schedule_workshop_allocation

Turn the workshop's scheduled allocation on or off: when on, Moodle allocates at random by itself at the end of the submission phase (once its submissions deadline passes), with the random allocation's settings given here (those left out keep what the form has). Returns the settings and Moodle's status of it (without a submissions deadline it never runs). Confirm with the person first.

## Why schedule_workshop_allocation is rated Medium

An AI agent can call schedule_workshop_allocation faster than any human can review: one bad instruction and it creates or modifies resources in Moodle by the hundred, each call as confident as the last.

## Use case

AI agents use schedule_workshop_allocation to create or update resources in Moodle, usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Moodle environment.

## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer)

    "schedule_workshop_allocation": {
      "limits": [
        {

          "window": "minute",
          "max": 30,
