Toggle unsafe mode for either Management API or Database operations.

WHAT THIS TOOL DOES: This tool switches between safe (default) and unsafe operation modes for either the Management API or Database operations.

SAFETY MODES EXPLAINED:

1. Database Safety Modes:
   • SAFE mode (default): Only low-risk operations like SELECT queries are allowed
   • UNSAFE mode: Higher-risk operations including INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE, and schema changes are permitted
2. API Safety Modes:
   • SAFE mode (default): Only low-risk operations that don't modify state are allowed
   • UNSAFE mode: Higher-risk state-changing operations are permitted (except those explicitly blocked for safety)

OPERATION RISK LEVELS: The system categorizes operations by risk level:

• LOW: Safe read operations with minimal impact
• MEDIUM: Write operations that modify data but don't change structure
• HIGH: Operations that modify database structure or important system settings
• EXTREME: Destructive operations that could cause data loss or service disruption

WHEN TO USE THIS TOOL:

• Use this tool BEFORE attempting write operations or schema changes
• Enable unsafe mode only when you need to perform data modifications
• Always return to safe mode after completing write operations

USAGE GUIDELINES:

• Start in safe mode by default for exploration and analysis
• Switch to unsafe mode only when you need to make changes
• Be specific about which service you're enabling unsafe mode for
• Consider the risks before enabling unsafe mode, especially for database operations
• For database operations requiring schema changes, you'll need to enable unsafe mode first

Parameters:

• service: Which service to toggle ("api" or "database")
• enable_unsafe_mode: True to enable unsafe mode, False for safe mode (default: False)

Examples:

1. Enable database unsafe mode: live_dangerously(service="database", enable_unsafe_mode=True)
2. Return to safe mode after operations: live_dangerously(service="database", enable_unsafe_mode=False)
3. Enable API unsafe mode: live_dangerously(service="api", enable_unsafe_mode=True)

Note: This tool affects ALL subsequent operations for the specified service until changed again.
