WHAT IT DOES

What create_webhook does on Kula Ai

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

WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why create_webhook needs a policy

This tool creates a new webhook subscription, which is a reversible write operation. It adds a new configuration to the system but does not execute arbitrary code, delete data, or move financial resources. The severity is medium because misconfigured webhooks could expose sensitive recruitment data or trigger unintended downstream actions, and an AI agent could create webhooks pointing to malicious endpoints.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'create_webhook' and description 'Create a new webhook subscription' indicates a creation operation that modifies system state by adding a new webhook configuration.
