pingzen/uptime-monitoring Destructive Risk 4/5

AI agents may call delete_monitor_group to permanently remove or destroy resources in PingZen Uptime Monitoring. Without a policy, an autonomous agent could delete critical data in a loop with no way to undo the damage. Intercept blocks destructive tools by default and requires explicit human approval before enabling them.
