What execute_ddl does on Oracle Sqlplus

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

Why execute_ddl needs a policy

This tool explicitly supports DROP (irreversible deletion of database objects) and DELETE (irreversible data removal), as well as ALTER and other DDL/DML operations. Since DROP and DELETE are destructive and irreversible, and following the most-severe-category rule, this tool is classified as Destructive with critical severity given the blast radius of dropping tables or schemas in a production Oracle database.
