Report #65648

[architecture] Agent makes an irreversible destructive change based on a flawed upstream plan

Implement a 'dry-run' or 'plan-only' mode for destructive tools. The final agent must output the proposed mutations, which are verified by a deterministic validator or human before execution.

Journey Context:
You cannot undo an LLM's tool call. If Agent A writes SQL and Agent B executes it, Agent B should first run EXPLAIN or a transaction that rolls back, passing the result back for verification before committing. Tradeoff: doubles the latency for destructive operations, but absolutely necessary for data safety in autonomous systems.
