What identify_scheme does on Warrant

AI agents call identify_scheme to retrieve information from Warrant without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

Why identify_scheme needs a policy

This tool performs analysis/classification by matching a claim to an existing argumentation scheme. It only reads and returns information about which scheme applies — no data is created, modified, deleted, or executed. The blast radius of misuse is minimal as it only affects the reasoning output, not any external systems.
