What prc_classify does on RC Engine

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

Why prc_classify needs a policy

An AI agent that decides to call prc_classify doesn't hesitate, doesn't double-check, and doesn't stop at one. Whatever it removes from RC Engine is gone — there is no undo for destructive operations.
