Why delete_workflow is rated Critical

Confidence is high due to explicit 'permanent' language in the description.

From the tool's definition Tool description states 'Hapus workflow dari n8n secara permanen' (Delete workflow from n8n permanently). The word 'permanen' (permanent) and the tool name 'delete_workflow' indicate irreversible deletion of data.
