What cancel_order does on Gobox

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

Why cancel_order needs a policy

Cancelling an order is an irreversible action that permanently changes the order's state, preventing future fulfilment. This aligns with the Destructive category (irreversible state change), with high severity since misuse by an AI agent could cancel legitimate customer orders causing financial and operational harm.

From the tool's definition 'Cancel an order' — cancellation is irreversible in e-commerce context; once cancelled, the order state cannot be restored. 'Only works before shipping stage' confirms it permanently terminates the order lifecycle.
