What ticket_delete does on Trac

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

Why ticket_delete needs a policy

This tool irreversibly deletes data (tickets) from the Trac project management system. Permanent deletion without undo is the defining characteristic of the Destructive category. While the blast radius is somewhat limited to individual tickets rather than system-wide data, the permanence and irreversibility elevate it above Write or Execute.

From the tool's definition 'Delete a ticket permanently. Warning: This cannot be undone.' — the tool explicitly states permanent deletion with no undo capability.
