Why system_clear_site_logs is rated Critical

Log deletion is a destructive operation that eliminates audit trails and evidence, making it a high-severity action if misused by an AI agent (e.g., to cover tracks or hide intrusion evidence). The operation is irreversible and constitutes data destruction.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'system_clear_site_logs' and description 'Clear access/error logs for a specific site' directly indicate irreversible deletion of log data.
