Critical Risk

Why convert_owner_team_to_access_team needs a policy

Converting an owner team to an access team is an irreversible structural change to the authorization and ownership model. Once converted, the previous ownership semantics cannot be restored without manual intervention, and it directly impacts record management permissions across potentially many records. This meets the Destructive criterion of irreversible state change with broad implications.

From the tool's definition Tool description explicitly states 'This action cannot be undone' and 'affects how records owned by this team are managed.' The conversion irreversibly transforms team ownership semantics.

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "hide": [
    "convert_owner_team_to_access_team"
  ]
}
