invarium-ai/invarium Destructive Risk 4/5

AI agents may call invarium_delete_agent to permanently remove or destroy resources in Invarium. 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.

Without a policy, an AI agent could call invarium_delete_agent in a loop, permanently destroying resources in Invarium. There is no undo for destructive operations. Intercept blocks this tool by default and only allows it when a human explicitly approves the action.

Destructive tools permanently remove data. Block by default. Only enable with explicit approval workflows.

Delete an agent and all its associated data from Invarium. Permanently removes the agent, all generated test cases, test runs, and audit history. Requires confirm=True to prevent accidental deletion.
