What burn_tokens does on Solana MCP Server

AI agents call burn_tokens to permanently remove resources in Solana MCP Server — typically in cleanup and lifecycle workflows. It does its job in a single call, and there is no undo.

Why burn_tokens needs a policy

Burning tokens permanently removes them from existence; this action cannot be undone. Combined with the fact it operates on a real blockchain wallet requiring a PRIVATE_KEY, misuse could result in irreversible loss of valuable token holdings. This clearly falls under Destructive with critical severity given the financial value of tokens and the irreversibility of the action.

From the tool's definition 'Burn SPL tokens' — burning tokens is an irreversible destruction of digital assets from the configured wallet
