create_framework · Warrant MCP: Risk & Policy

WHAT IT DOES

What create_framework does on Warrant

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

WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why create_framework needs a policy

This tool creates argumentation frameworks (data structures), which is a reversible write operation. It does not execute arbitrary code, delete data, move funds, or trigger external side effects. The creation of abstract logical frameworks poses minimal risk; the output is theoretical argumentation metadata that can be modified or discarded without consequences.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'create_framework' and description 'Create a Dung Argumentation Framework or Bipolar AF' indicates creation of data structures representing formal argumentation models.
