WHAT IT DOES

What bulc_run_aset_analysis does on BULC Building Designer

AI agents invoke bulc_run_aset_analysis to trigger actions in BULC Building Designer. 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 bulc_run_aset_analysis needs a policy

ASET analysis is a fire safety simulation that runs complex calculations on the building model. While not immediately destructive or financial, it executes external operations whose outputs and side effects depend on user-supplied parameters (exit location).

From the tool's definition Tool performs 'Run ASET (Available Safe Egress Time) analysis' which triggers external simulation and computational operations on the BULC fire simulation software.
