What close_project does on Openl

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

Why close_project needs a policy

This tool modifies project state by closing it and potentially discarding unsaved work. Although discarding changes is somewhat destructive, the explicit confirmation requirement and the ability to save changes first (saveChanges: true) mean the primary action is Write (state modification) rather than Destructive. The confirmation safeguard and reversibility through saving place this in Write rather than Destructive.

From the tool's definition The tool closes a project and can discard unsaved changes. The description states 'discardChanges: true' which modifies the project state by removing edits.
