What unblock_card does on Scrumdo

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

WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why unblock_card needs a policy

Based on the tool name, 'unblock_card' likely reverses a blocking status on a card (complementary to the sibling tool 'block_card'), which is a reversible state change — a Write operation. The blast radius is medium since modifying card status could affect workflow decisions. Confidence is reduced due to the empty description.

From the tool's definition Tool name: 'unblock_card'; description is empty and uninformative.
