Parameters from the server's own tool schema.
This tool performs irreversible deletion of data (a VAST channel). It cannot be undone and represents a destructive action. While the channel is already archived (reducing some blast radius), permanent deletion is still a destructive operation that warrants high severity. The impact depends on the importance of the archived channel, but the action itself is categorically destructive.
From the tool's definition Tool name and description explicitly state 'Permanently delete' and 'archived VAST channel'. The verb 'delete' combined with 'permanently' indicates irreversible data destruction.
