WHAT IT DOES

What create_client does on Rize

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

WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why create_client needs a policy

This tool creates a new client record in Rize's project management and time tracking system. Creating a client is a write operation—it modifies the system state by adding new data. It is reversible (the client can be deleted via the sibling tool 'delete_client'), so it does not rise to Destructive.

From the tool's definition The tool name 'create_client' and description 'Create a new client' indicate the tool creates a new organizational entity (a client) in the Rize time tracking system. This is a reversible write operation that adds data to the system.
