WHAT IT DOES

What afc-create-profile does on AFC Commander (Free Edition)

AI agents use afc-create-profile to create or update resources in AFC Commander (Free Edition) — usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your AFC Commander (Free Edition) environment.

WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why afc-create-profile needs a policy

This tool creates a new profile with empty registry and pipelines. It is a reversible write operation (profiles can be deleted via afc-remove-command or similar). The severity is medium because creating profiles can be misused to pollute the configuration namespace, consume resources, or disrupt agent workflow, but it does not delete, execute arbitrary code, or trigger financial transactions.

From the tool's definition Tool description states 'Create a new AFC Commander profile' – the verb 'create' and the action of instantiating a new profile entity constitute a write operation that modifies stored state.
