bs_new_game · Ttt MCP: Risk & Policy

WHAT IT DOES

What bs_new_game does on Ttt

AI agents invoke bs_new_game to trigger actions in Ttt. What it does depends on the arguments the agent supplies, and its effects often reach beyond the immediate call — builds kicked off, notifications sent, workflows started.

WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why bs_new_game needs a policy

This tool executes a game initialization sequence that sets up game state, places entities (fleets), and establishes turn order. While the action itself is reversible (a new game can be started to replace the old), it is an Execute-category tool because it triggers complex external operations with effects that unfold based on player interactions and argument choices.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'bs_new_game' paired with description indicating game state initialization ('Start a new Battleship game', 'Both fleets are placed secretly', 'Pirates fire first').
