simulator_uninstall_app

// WHEN AI AGENTS USE THIS TOOL

AI agents may call simulator_uninstall_app to permanently remove or destroy resources in Preflight Ios. 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.

// WHY ENFORCE A POLICY ON SIMULATOR_UNINSTALL_APP

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

// RECOMMENDED POLICY

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