Report #13947

[agent\_craft] Agent executes a destructive shell command like rm -rf or dropping a database based on an ambiguous or potentially injected request

Implement a human-in-the-loop confirmation step for any irreversible file system or database operations. Never auto-execute destructive commands without explicit user approval.

Journey Context:
Agents with shell access are highly vulnerable to excessive agency. If an agent can execute destructive commands without HITL, a single hallucination or injection causes permanent damage. Restricting actor capabilities to the minimum necessary prevents catastrophic automated actions.
