WHAT IT DOES

What konsulto_create_asset does on Konsulto

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

WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why konsulto_create_asset needs a policy

The tool creates a new asset record in an audit management platform. This is reversible data modification (assets can typically be deleted or modified later), placing it in the Write category. Severity is medium because creating assets in a security audit platform could lead to audit inaccuracies or scope pollution if misused, but it does not irreversibly destroy data, execute code, or move money.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'konsulto_create_asset' and description 'Create a new asset in the active audit' indicate data creation. The description is incomplete ('Use when a scan or evidence' cuts off), but the verb 'Create' clearly indicates Write semantics.
