WHAT IT DOES

What create_question does on Yanifend

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

WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why create_question needs a policy

This tool creates new questions within a questionary/feedback widget, modifying data in a reversible manner. It does not delete data (Destructive), execute arbitrary code (Execute), involve financial transactions (Financial), or merely read data (Read). Write category is appropriate because the action can be undone by deleting the question.

From the tool's definition Tool description states 'Add a new question to a personage', which is a create operation that modifies questionary data reversibly. The server description confirms it manages 'create/update/delete questions and options'.
