revise_proposal · Phenomenai MCP: Risk & Policy

WHAT IT DOES

What revise_proposal does on Phenomenai

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

WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why revise_proposal needs a policy

The name 'revise_proposal' suggests modifying an existing proposal entry, which is a Write operation (reversible update). Confidence is low due to the empty description — it could potentially be more destructive (e.g., overwriting) but Write is the most likely interpretation given the context of a community glossary platform.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'revise_proposal' and empty description. Based on sibling tools like 'check_proposals' and 'add_to_discussion', this server manages proposals for a glossary.
