WHAT IT DOES

What set_default_template does on LinkForty MCP Server

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

WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why set_default_template needs a policy

This tool creates or modifies data reversibly by updating workspace settings. It changes which template is designated as default, affecting future behavior of the SDK when creating links. This is a Write operation rather than Destructive because the change is easily reversible by setting a different template as default, and no data is permanently deleted or overwritten.

From the tool's definition Tool description states it will 'Mark a template as the default for the workspace', which modifies workspace configuration. The effect is reversible (can be changed to a different default template).
