// WHEN AI AGENTS USE THIS TOOL

AI agents may call cancel_task_assignment to permanently remove or destroy resources in Binalyze AIR MCP Server. 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.
