What ban_ip does on OPanel MCP

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

Why ban_ip needs a policy

Banning an IP address is a blocking/denial-of-access action that is not easily reversible and can affect all players connecting from that IP. It permanently restricts access, placing it in the Destructive category with high severity due to the potential for widespread impact if misused (e.g., banning a shared or dynamic IP could affect many legitimate users).
