Why delete_opportunity is rated Critical
This tool irreversibly deletes opportunities, which are core sales pipeline records in a CRM. Unlike Write operations (create/update) that are reversible, deletion cannot be undone. The blast radius is high because an AI agent could accidentally or maliciously destroy sales records that represent revenue pipeline, customer commitments, or deal history.
From the tool's definition delete_opportunity — Delete an opportunity from GoHighLevel. The verb 'delete' combined with removal of an opportunity (a business-critical sales record) indicates irreversible data destruction.
