Part of the Arcane MCP server. Enforce policies on this tool with Intercept, the open-source MCP proxy.

AI agents may call arcane_environment_delete to permanently remove or destroy resources in Arcane. Without a policy, an autonomous agent could delete critical data in a loop with no way to undo the damage. Intercept blocks destructive tools by default and requires explicit human approval before enabling them.
