What revoke_api_token does on cPanel MCP Server

Why revoke_api_token is rated Critical
Revoking/deleting an API token permanently invalidates authentication credentials and cannot be undone. This is a destructive action that removes access and cannot be reversed without re-issuing a new token. While not as catastrophic as deleting databases or user accounts, it is irreversible and qualifies as destructive rather than write (which is reversible).
From the tool's definition Tool name and description explicitly state 'Revoke/delete an API token' — this is an irreversible deletion of authentication credentials.
