What start_draft does on Slopweaver

AI agents call start_draft to retrieve information from Slopweaver without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

Why start_draft needs a policy

The tool retrieves thread content and stakeholder history to support drafting, but does not itself send or write anything. The description is truncated, slightly lowering confidence, but the visible text indicates a read/fetch operation. Severity is low as it only reads data to assist drafting.

From the tool's definition 'Returns the instructional body for drafting a reply' and 'pulls stakeholder history' — the tool fetches/retrieves content to prepare a draft
