A human with the same permissions would have been capable of fucking up too. Giving the equivalent of a junior dev with a learning disability the keys to the whole place is just dumb.
(Relying on AI is dumb anyway, but that’s not the biggest issue in this specific case)

Correct. You too have now identified the AI problem. This was the job of a human senior infrastructure engineer that they delegated to an AI agent. They’ve found out why it’s not an AI’s job.
Seems to be, yes. The AI had the access it needed to do the job it was given, and that access allowed it to cause the problem.
The alternative that would have prevented this issue was to not use AI for this.
