Parameters from the server's own tool schema.
Deletion of ad items cannot be undone and permanently removes advertising content from the system. While the blast radius is scoped to a single ad item (not system-wide), the irreversible nature of deletion makes this Destructive rather than Write. This is more severe than Write operations because the action cannot be reversed.
