AI agents may call delete_data_source to permanently remove or destroy resources in Try. Without a policy, an autonomous agent could delete critical data in a loop with no way to undo the damage. PolicyLayer blocks destructive tools by default and requires explicit human approval before enabling them.

Without a policy, an AI agent could call delete_data_source in a loop, permanently destroying resources in Try. There is no undo for destructive operations. PolicyLayer blocks this tool by default and only allows it when a human explicitly approves the action.

Destructive tools permanently remove data. Block by default. Only enable with explicit approval workflows.

Every attack above starts with a tool call. PolicyLayer checks each one against your policy first, so delete_data_source only ever does what you allow.
