WHAT IT DOES

What resuml_export_pdf does on Resuml

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

WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why resuml_export_pdf needs a policy

The tool generates/creates a PDF file from resume data. While the source data remains unchanged, the action produces a new persistent artifact (the PDF file) in storage or output context. This is reversible (the PDF can be deleted), so it is Write rather than Destructive.

From the tool's definition Tool description states 'Export a resume as PDF', which creates and generates a new file artifact (the PDF document) from existing resume data. This is a write operation that produces a tangible output.
