WHAT IT DOES

WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why lever_add_note needs a policy

Adding a note creates new data in the candidate's profile, which is a write operation. While reversible and non-destructive, it modifies the candidate record and could affect hiring decisions if misleading notes are added. Severity is medium because impact is localized to a single candidate record and the action is reversible. Confidence is high based on clear intent from the tool name and description.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'lever_add_note' and description 'Add a note to a candidate's profile' indicate creation/modification of data (adding a note). This is reversible (notes can typically be edited or deleted in ATS systems).
