What fix_deficiency does on NutriBalance

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

Why fix_deficiency needs a policy

This tool queries nutritional data and returns informational recommendations about foods and supplements. It does not create, modify, delete, or execute any operations with side effects. The 'action plan' is advisory guidance, not a directive that modifies user data or systems. This is a straightforward informational retrieval tool analogous to a search or lookup function.

From the tool's definition Tool retrieves and provides information: 'Get a detailed action plan', 'best foods to eat', 'supplement advice', 'deficiency symptoms'. No data modification, deletion, or execution of external operations occurs.
