RISK

The blast radius is significant: deleting contacts removes them from workflows, associations, communication histories, and business processes.

From the tool's definition Tool name contains 'delete' and description states 'Archive (soft delete) a contact'. Even though it is a soft delete (archival rather than permanent hard delete), it irreversibly removes a contact from active use in the CRM system.
