Obviously, they did not guardrail it well enough. Obviously correct. My own thinking beyond that here Laz, is that cloud based backups need their own "airgap" to prevent crap like this from happening in the first place.
If backups are "airgapped" in the cloud, permissions to delete them won't matter if they're not online/available.
When I brought this issue up this morning, it went right on our Cloud Services Delivery Roadmap for next sprint.

Still, this is but one of the ways an AI Agent can careen out of control. I think the lesson is deeper: Agents require code review, auditing, and monitoring. You might prevent a delete with an air gap, but what’s the next thing to look out for?
