// WHEN AI AGENTS USE THIS TOOL

AI agents may call asset_remove_background to permanently remove or destroy resources in Prompt To Asset. 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 ASSET_REMOVE_BACKGROUND

Without a policy, an AI agent could call asset_remove_background in a loop, permanently destroying resources in Prompt To Asset. 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.
