Why delete_archived_contract is rated Critical
This tool irreversibly deletes data (a contract record) and cannot be undone. Even though the contract is already archived, permanent deletion is a destructive action with potentially significant business impact if misused by an AI agent. It does not fit Read, Write, Execute, Financial, or Other categories—Destructive is the only appropriate classification.
From the tool's definition Tool name explicitly states 'delete' and description says 'Permanently delete an archived contract'. The word 'permanently' confirms irreversible data destruction.
