What remove_watch does on TalkDB

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

Why remove_watch needs a policy

Removing a saved watch permanently deletes a scheduled query/alert configuration. This is irreversible without a backup or restore mechanism, placing it in the Destructive category. Severity is medium because the blast radius is limited to monitoring configurations rather than primary data, but losing watches could disable proactive alerts and monitoring.

From the tool's definition 'Remove a saved watch' — removing/deleting a saved monitoring configuration (watch) is an irreversible deletion of that resource.
