What roll_dice does on Nexus Core

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

Why roll_dice needs a policy

Rolling dice is a stateless operation that retrieves/generates random values without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing external operations. It has no blast radius if misused by an AI agent—the worst outcome is an unexpected random result used in a decision, which is low-risk and reversible through user interaction.

From the tool's definition Tool name and description indicate a purely computational operation: 'Roll N dice with S sides each' performs a random number generation and returns results with no side effects on any data or system state.
