Why cdp_purge_data is rated Critical

Operating on a data warehouse containing customer data means the blast radius is extremely high—loss of customer records, compliance violations (GDPR/CCPA), business continuity impact, and potential financial/reputational harm. This is the most severe category of destructive action.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'cdp_purge_data' combined with description 'Purge customer data from the data warehouse' explicitly indicates irreversible deletion of customer data at scale.
