## Why email_delete is rated Critical

Although technically recoverable from trash, email deletion is functionally destructive because: (1) it removes data from active use; (2) the action cannot be undone with a simple reversal—recovery requires accessing the trash folder; (3) if the trash is auto-purged or the user empties it, deletion becomes permanent; (4) an AI agent misusing this tool could delete critical business emails, causing operational and…
