If we take that literally, then just remove all destructive API endpoints. Because then, it they no real purpose, you cannot automate the removal of anything.

I think some other suggestions are saner (cool-down period, more fine-grain permissions, delete protection for certain high-value volumes). I don't think "don't allow destructive actions over the API" is the right boundary.
