WHAT IT DOES

What create_form_question does on JotForm API Server

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

WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why create_form_question needs a policy

This tool creates new questions within a form, which modifies the form's structure and content. This is a Write operation because it creates/adds data to an existing form in a reversible manner. It is not Read (no retrieval only), not Execute/Destructive (not running arbitrary code or deleting data), and not Financial.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'create_form_question' and description 'Add new question to specified form' indicate data creation. The verb 'Add' and action of modifying form structure by inserting new questions represents reversible write operation to form configuration.
