What docker_networks does on RedisNexus

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

Why docker_networks needs a policy

The tool explicitly supports 'remove' of Docker networks, which is an irreversible destructive action that can disrupt running containers and services. Since the most severe applicable category must be chosen, and 'remove' qualifies as Destructive, this tool is classified accordingly. Misuse by an AI agent could take down network connectivity for production containers, resulting in high blast radius.

From the tool's definition Manage Docker networks: list, create, inspect, remove.
