Why deleteSheetsComment is rated Critical

While the blast radius is somewhat limited to comment data rather than core spreadsheet content, the permanent and irreversible nature of deletion places it in the Destructive category, which is more severe than Write (reversible modifications).
From the tool's definition Tool name explicitly states 'delete' and description says 'Permanently deletes a comment and all its replies' — the word 'permanently' confirms irreversible data loss.
