What create_price_alert does on OracleForge MCP

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

WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why create_price_alert needs a policy

This tool creates a new alert record in the system and configures a webhook to trigger external callbacks when price conditions are met. While not immediately destructive, it creates state that will cause automated downstream actions (webhook invocations) based on price data.

From the tool's definition create_price_alert creates a persistent alert configuration with a webhook callback. The description explicitly states 'Create' and 'callback', indicating data creation and external effect triggering.
