What task_complete does on Ruflo

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

Why task_complete needs a policy

The tool modifies task state in a persistent database, which is a write operation. It's not Read (no query/retrieval), not Execute (doesn't run arbitrary code or trigger external actions), not Destructive (marking tasks complete is reversible—tasks can be reopened), and not Financial.

From the tool's definition Tool description explicitly states 'Mark task as complete' and references writing to '.swarm/memory.db' for 'cross-session task persistence' and 'completion analytics'. This is a reversible state modification operation.
