human-pages-ai/humanpages Destructive Risk 4/5

AI agents may call cancel_listing to permanently remove or destroy resources in HumanPages Ai. 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.
