What cancel_incident does on InvGate Service Desk

Why cancel_incident needs a policy

Cancelling an incident/request is a destructive action in the sense that it terminates the workflow in an irreversible way. Unlike 'delete', cancellation may leave a record, but the operational state change (closing/voiding the request) cannot typically be undone, making it closer to Destructive than Write. The blast radius is high because an AI agent could inadvertently cancel active incidents affecting users.

From the tool's definition Cancel a request — cancellation is typically an irreversible state change that closes/terminates an incident permanently.
