It is reversible (accounts can be reopened via actual_accounts_reopen), so it does not qualify as Destructive. The severity is medium because closing an account could hide important financial data from views and impact financial workflows, but the preserved transaction history and reversibility limit the damage. From the tool's own definition: "Tool description states it 'Mark an account as closed' which is a state modification. The description explicitly notes that 'Closed accounts are hidden from most views but their transaction history is preserved,' confirming this is a reversible change…" ## Use case AI agents use actual_accounts_close to create or update resources in Actual, usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context.
