WHAT IT DOES

What tp_add_note_comment does on TrainingPeaks-MCP

WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why tp_add_note_comment needs a policy

Adding a comment creates new data and modifies the associated note, but the action is reversible (comments can be deleted or edited). This is a classic Write operation. The severity is low because comments on fitness notes pose minimal risk even if misused by an AI agent—no financial impact, no data destruction, and limited scope to a single note's comment thread.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'tp_add_note_comment' and description 'Add a comment to a calendar note' indicate creation of new content (a comment) that modifies existing data (the note) in a reversible manner.
