How is it a game-defined action? It's something that could have been

performed by rules, the game would no longer be defining the action in
question).
Perhaps we need a CFJ about what "action" means.
Done a bit of digging in the rules. There's no formal definition of game
actions. The three references are:
== Rule 101/17 ¶1 ==
Agora is a game of Nomic, wherein Persons, acting in accordance
with the Rules, communicate their game Actions and/or results of
these actions via Fora in order to play the game.
== Rule 2466/1 ¶2 ==
A person CANNOT act on behalf of another person to do anything
except perform a game action...
== Rule 2553/0 ¶1 ==
If a CFJ about the legality or possibility of a game action, has
been assigned a judgment of PARADOXICAL continuously for at least
7 days...
The only entities described as being capable of performing game actions
are players. But I would argue that these use cases are not
comprehensive and do not constitute a definition and should not be
interpreted in a way that arbitrarily limits the scope of what a game
action can be.
