Why so many comments blame the author?
If AI is just a tool, just like a database console, would you blame user for entire database loss if he just tried to update a single row in a table?

It's situational.
The blame on how the tool was used and whether this was negligence. If I hit someone with my car because I was looking at my phone, it's not the tools fault. If I hit someone because my brakes failed due to a manufacturing defect, sure blame the tool.
In this situation, the author didn't understand the API key they created. They also likely told the AI it could do a bunch of things (I have claude code ask me before doing anything except read/plan). So I'm sure he turned off some guardrails.
He expects an API to offer an "are you sure?" - it's an API.
He's blaming everyone but himself.
I did read it differently:
> The agent ran this command: ...
> No confirmation step. No "type DELETE to confirm."...
I thought the author expected the Agent to ask for confirmation before running this command.
