What it reports

Destructive async operation at line {line} with no verification of success. AI agents frequently execute irreversible actions (delete, drop, rm) based on assumed success without checking the return value or catching errors. Always verify the outcome of destructive operations before proceeding.

Flagged

await db.delete(id);

Not flagged

await db.delete(id);
if (!(await db.find(id))) throw new Error("gone");

Pattern
