WHAT IT DOES

What adopt_advisory_recommendations does on Quarterback

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

WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why adopt_advisory_recommendations needs a policy

This tool modifies the state of recommendations (approving or rejecting them) and can create new tasks as a side effect. Both actions are reversible write operations — no data is permanently destroyed, no code is executed, and no financial transactions occur. The blast radius is medium because an AI agent could approve unintended recommendations or create spurious tasks across projects.

From the tool's definition Approve or reject recommendations, optionally creating tasks
