"If I understand correctly, "

You don't. You are missing the part where the LLM had a token which blocked access as expected. Then the LLM searched the source base, found a different token with the delete privs and then used that.

PS That warning happens in staging envs too, the LLM doesn't know which env is which by design.

Huh that's not what I gathered from the tweet at all. If I am going to write a five why's analysis, the immediate cause is the LLM wrongly decided to delete a volume, while the root cause is the bad design to co-locate staging and production data in the same volume. The writing was quite vague though, let's wait for a response from railway.
