What managed_agent_terminate does on Claude Flow

AI agents call managed_agent_terminate to permanently remove resources in Claude Flow — typically in cleanup and lifecycle workflows. It does its job in a single call, and there is no undo.

Why managed_agent_terminate needs a policy

The tool explicitly deletes a cloud-agent session, which is an irreversible action (termination of a running agent and destruction of its session state). It also has financial implications by stopping billing, but the primary action is destructive — deleting the session.

From the tool's definition 'Delete a managed cloud-agent session' and 'Optionally also deletes the session' — the tool terminates and deletes a cloud agent session irreversibly
