WHAT IT DOES

What pushtodisplay_set_default_board does on Pushtodisplay

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

WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why pushtodisplay_set_default_board needs a policy

This tool modifies user preferences or settings (designating a default board) rather than creating or deleting resources. It is reversible—a different board can be set as default later. While it affects board configuration, it lacks the irreversibility of Destructive operations and the external code execution of Execute operations. The Write category is appropriate for configuration and preference changes.

From the tool's definition Tool name indicates a 'set' operation which modifies state. Description states 'Set a board as the user' suggesting configuration/preference modification.
