What delete_user does on Truenas Ws

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

Why delete_user needs a policy

Deleting a user account is a destructive operation that cannot be undone and removes access credentials and associated permissions. While the confirmation requirement provides a safeguard, the tool itself performs an irreversible action affecting system authentication and authorization. This is more severe than Write (which is reversible) and warrants the Destructive category.

From the tool's definition Tool name is 'delete_user' and description states 'Delete a user' — this is an irreversible deletion operation. The requirement for 'confirm=True' does not change the fundamental destructive nature of the action.
