Why clearpass_delete_endpoint is rated Critical
The tool permanently removes endpoint records from ClearPass, a network access control system. Deletion cannot be undone and has significant operational impact: it may cause network access loss for that device, require manual re-enrollment, and could affect security policies tied to that endpoint. This makes it Destructive rather than Execute.
From the tool's definition Tool name contains 'delete' and description states 'Delete a ClearPass endpoint by MAC address' — this is an irreversible deletion operation.
