What remove_profile does on Obs

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

Why remove_profile needs a policy

This tool permanently removes an OBS profile, which is a configuration container that cannot be restored through the tool's API. While it includes a safety guard (preventing deletion of the active profile), the action itself is irreversible and constitutes data destruction.
