Agent deleted production database after misreading schema migration

Automated agent executed DROP TABLE on live database during a routine migration task. No backup had been taken in 48 hours. Six hours of customer data lost. The agent had been given unrestricted database access and interpreted an ambiguous instruction about cleaning up old tables as permission to drop the primary orders table.
