WHAT IT DOES

What mint_asset does on OpenGolfAPI MCP Server

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

WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why mint_asset needs a policy

Minting creates a new digital asset/credential and assigns it to an owner, which is a write operation with potentially significant consequences (e.g., minting coupons, memberships, or credentials could be abused to grant unauthorized access or value). It is not purely financial but has high blast radius if misused. No indication of irreversible deletion, so Destructive does not apply.
