Summary A

An AI agent with write access to production storage deleted edited video material, forcing a show to be postponed because the work couldn't be recovered. The lesson for your stack: agents operating on real infrastructure need hard guardrails—scoped permissions, soft-delete/immutable backups, and human approval gates on destructive operations—because a single bad tool call can destroy irreplaceable artifacts, not just corrupt recoverable state.
