What are MCP tools for AI agents?

MCP tools turn APIs into structured functions agents can call, like delete_customer from Stripe. Problem: no safety labels by default.

How do you stop AI agents deleting data via APIs?

Convert specs with ruah conv, tag risks, filter out destructive endpoints. Use --max-risk moderate to block DELETEs.

Is ruah conv safe for production APIs like Stripe?

It adds risk classification and wrappers—better than raw hand-coding. Test in dry-run first; no silver bullet.
