WHEN AI AGENTS USE THIS TOOL

AI agents call box_docgen_template_get_by_name_tool to retrieve information from Box without modifying any data. This is common in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows where the agent needs context before taking action. Because read operations don't change state, they are generally safe to allow without restrictions — but you may still want rate limits to control API costs.

WHY ENFORCE A POLICY ON BOX_DOCGEN_TEMPLATE_GET_BY_NAME_TOOL

Even though box_docgen_template_get_by_name_tool only reads data, uncontrolled read access can leak sensitive information or rack up API costs. An agent caught in a retry loop could make thousands of calls per minute. A rate limit gives you a safety net without blocking legitimate use.

RECOMMENDED POLICY

Read-only tools are safe to allow by default. No rate limit needed unless you want to control costs.

  box_docgen_template_get_by_name_tool:

      - action: allow
