What remove_team_member does on Forgejo
AI agents call remove_team_member to permanently remove resources in Forgejo, typically in cleanup and lifecycle workflows. It does its job in a single call, and there is no undo.
Why remove_team_member is rated Critical
Removing a team member revokes access and membership in a way that is not automatically reversible. The action deletes an association (team membership) which, if done accidentally, could revoke permissions and access for a user. This is an irreversible deletion of a relationship, placing it in the Destructive category with high severity due to potential impact on access control.
