WHAT IT DOES

What save_insight does on Wellness Planner

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

WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why save_insight needs a policy

The name 'save_insight' indicates a write operation that persists insights to the database. Given the sibling tools (get_insights, propose_schedule) and SQLite backend, this tool likely creates or updates records. Without an explicit description, confidence is reduced, but the naming convention and server architecture point to Write rather than Read.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'save_insight' implies persistence of data. The server description mentions 'task management' and 'local SQLite database', suggesting tools can modify stored state. No description provided to confirm scope.
