[gotcha] Granting autonomous execution to destructive or irreversible tools

Implement human-in-the-loop \(HITL\) confirmation for any tool with side effects \(writes, deletes, sends\), enforced at the client level, not just the prompt level.

Journey Context:
Developers often tell the LLM 'ask before deleting' via the system prompt. However, prompt injection or LLM hallucination can bypass this. If the client application automatically executes all tool calls the LLM requests, a compromised prompt leads to real damage. HITL must be a hard constraint in the agent loop code, bypassing the LLM's own judgment.
