@smartbear/mcp Destructive Risk 4/5

// WHEN AI AGENTS USE THIS TOOL

AI agents may call reflect_delete_previous_step to permanently remove or destroy resources in SmartBear MCP. 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.

// WHY ENFORCE A POLICY ON REFLECT_DELETE_PREVIOUS_STEP

Without a policy, an AI agent could call reflect_delete_previous_step in a loop, permanently destroying resources in SmartBear MCP. There is no undo for destructive operations. Intercept blocks this tool by default and only allows it when a human explicitly approves the action.
