## Why prune_containers is rated Critical

Container pruning is a destructive operation that permanently removes stopped containers. This action cannot be undone and could result in loss of container configurations, logs, and data associated with those containers. The term 'prune' is standard Docker terminology for irreversible cleanup operations.

From the tool's own definition: "'Prune containers' - pruning removes all stopped containers irreversibly"

## Use case

AI agents call prune_containers to permanently remove resources in 1Panel MCP Server, typically in cleanup and lifecycle workflows. It does its job in a single call, and there is no undo.
