What transkribus_coll_remove_user does on Transkribus
AI agents call transkribus_coll_remove_user to permanently remove resources in Transkribus, typically in cleanup and lifecycle workflows. It does its job in a single call, and there is no undo.
Why transkribus_coll_remove_user is rated Critical
Removing a user from a collection revokes their access rights, which is an irreversible action (the access is lost and must be explicitly re-granted). This is more than a write operation as it cannot be passively undone — it requires deliberate re-authorization. Misuse by an AI agent could lock legitimate users out of collections, causing significant disruption.
