WHAT IT DOES

What add_verified_example does on Tron

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

WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why add_verified_example needs a policy

This tool modifies a knowledge base by inserting new code examples. It is a Write operation because it creates new data reversibly—examples can be removed or modified later. Severity is medium because misuse could pollute the knowledge base with incorrect or malicious code examples that other users might reference, but the impact is limited to informational content rather than direct financial or system harm.

From the tool's definition Tool name includes 'add' and description states 'Add a new verified code example to the knowledge base', indicating it creates and stores new data persistently.
