WHAT IT DOES

What volatility_analyze does on Hexstrike Ai

AI agents invoke volatility_analyze to trigger actions in Hexstrike Ai. 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.
