WHAT IT DOES

What ppm_issue_start does on Qod Ppm Odoo

AI agents use ppm_issue_start to create or update resources in Qod Ppm Odoo — usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Qod Ppm Odoo environment.

WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why ppm_issue_start needs a policy

State transitions that modify records are Write operations rather than Execute operations, since they update specific fields reversibly without running arbitrary code or triggering unpredictable side effects. The severity is medium because incorrect state transitions could disrupt workflow processes and cause operational confusion, but the action is reversible and localized to a single record's status.

From the tool's definition Tool description states it moves an issue to 'in_progress', which modifies the state/status of an existing issue record.
