WHAT IT DOES

What swapsicle_swap does on Telos Network MCP Server

AI agents invoke swapsicle_swap to trigger actions in Telos Network MCP Server. 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 swapsicle_swap needs a policy
