WHAT IT DOES

What insert_text does on LLM2Docs (Unofficial)

AI agents use insert_text to create or update resources in LLM2Docs (Unofficial) — usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your LLM2Docs (Unofficial) environment.

WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why insert_text needs a policy

The tool creates or modifies document content by inserting text at a specified location. This is a reversible write operation — the inserted text can be deleted or edited. It does not delete data (not Destructive), does not execute arbitrary code (not Execute), involves no financial impact (not Financial), and is not a read-only retrieval (not Read). Write category applies.

From the tool's definition Tool name is 'insert_text' and description states it 'Insert[s] text at a specific position in the document'. This is a data modification operation.
