What causal_chain does on Brainforge

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

Why causal_chain needs a policy

This tool retrieves and analyzes existing causal relationships within a knowledge graph. It performs no writes, deletions, or external actions—only queries data. The operation is a standard graph traversal/analysis query with no side effects. Severity is low because misuse would only surface information already stored in the knowledge graph.

From the tool's definition Tool description states '특정 노드와 관련된 모든 인과 관계를 조회한다' (queries all causal relationships related to a specific node). The verb '조회' (to query/retrieve) indicates data retrieval with no modification.
