What mongo_databases does on RedisNexus

AI agents call mongo_databases 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 mongo_databases needs a policy

The tool permits dropping databases, which destroys data that cannot be recovered. This is a Destructive operation with critical severity due to the potential for complete data loss. The confidence is high because the description directly mentions the destructive capability, though there is a slight uncertainty (0.05) about whether drop operations might be restricted by access controls in practice.

From the tool's definition Tool description explicitly states it can 'drop MongoDB databases', which is an irreversible deletion operation.
