Activates the emergency kill switch for an agent. This is a destructive, irreversible operation that immediately:
  1. Revokes the agent — sets the agent status to revoked, preventing all future API calls
  2. Terminates all active sessions — forcibly ends every session associated with the agent
  3. Voids pending receipts — marks all unfinalized receipts as voided to prevent downstream reliance on incomplete data
The kill switch is designed for critical security incidents where an agent must be immediately neutralized — such as confirmed credential compromise, detected malicious behavior, or regulatory emergency shutdown orders.
Irreversible Operation. Agent revocation via kill switch cannot be undone. A new agent must be registered to resume operations. All voided receipts are permanently marked and cannot be restored.
