What remove_from_whitelist does on Tempo
AI agents call remove_from_whitelist to permanently remove resources in Tempo, typically in cleanup and lifecycle workflows. It does its job in a single call, and there is no undo.
Why remove_from_whitelist is rated Critical
Removing an address from a whitelist is an irreversible access-control change that revokes the address's ability to participate in compliant transfers. This cannot be automatically undone and could block legitimate users or contracts from transacting, making it a destructive operation with high blast radius in a financial payment system.
