WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why downvote needs a policy

Downvoting is a reversible modification action (the vote can be changed or removed) that adjusts metadata/signals on content without creating, deleting, or executing arbitrary operations. It fits the Write category as a non-destructive state change. Severity is low because downvoting has minimal blast radius—it affects only vote counts and visibility signals, not data deletion or system compromise.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'downvote' and description '글을 비추천합니다' (translates to 'downvote/disrecommend a post') indicates a social networking interaction that modifies engagement metrics on existing content.

Verdict

downvote Rate-limited

downvote stays usable, but capped — an agent stuck in a loop can't make hundreds of changes a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
