You're right.
I have the (not so) bad practice to always think in a hacker point of view.

|
| But lets rewrite your error message and see what will happen next.
|
| "ORA-20000: You have attempted to use TOAD to access a production
| database in violation of company policy. An email has been sent to
| HR and your manager notifying that you have violated company policy"
|
| If a little UTL_MAIL or UTL_SMTP is in the mix to actually do it my
| suspicion is that they won't ever risk trying it again. Locked doors
| have never stopped a thief. A certainty of being caught does.

I fully agree.
