What eval_ingest_trace does on Multivon

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

WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why eval_ingest_trace needs a policy

The name 'ingest' implies writing/importing data into a system (likely trace data for evaluation purposes). With no description available, confidence is low. Ingest operations are typically Write-category as they create or modify stored data. Severity is medium given potential for importing large or sensitive trace data into the evaluation system.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'eval_ingest_trace' suggests ingesting/importing trace data into an evaluation system. Description is empty and uninformative.
