What undo_preview does on Spotify
AI agents invoke undo_preview to trigger actions in Spotify. What it does depends on the arguments the agent supplies, and its effects often reach beyond the immediate call: builds kicked off, notifications sent, workflows started.
Why undo_preview is rated High
undo_preview triggers real processes with real consequences. An agent gone sideways doesn't fire it once. It starts dozens of builds, sends mass notifications, or burns through compute before anyone looks up.
