What private_keys does on Coolify

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

Why private_keys needs a policy

While the tool spans multiple categories (Read via list/get, Write via create/update, Destructive via delete), the presence of 'delete' for SSH keys—which are sensitive cryptographic credentials essential for infrastructure access—makes this Destructive. Deletion of SSH keys cannot be reversed and can immediately revoke authentication access to critical systems.

From the tool's definition Tool description explicitly states 'delete' capability for SSH keys. The tool manages SSH keys with create/update/delete operations, where delete operations on cryptographic credentials are irreversible and cannot be undone.
