No. ``cf-promises -T`` is an unconditional update of ``cf_promises_validated``. ``cf-agent`` has an internal update mechanism that only updates the file if any file in the policy tree has a newer timestamp than the one stored in ``cf_promises_validated``.

``cf-promises -T`` is currently used only by the Design Center integration. It is not used in Core at all, except for being generally available if anyone wants to run it manually.
