RISK

Why edgeconnect_delete_address_group is rated Critical

Deletion of ACL address groups is a destructive action that cannot be undone. While write guards are mentioned as a mitigation, the core function is irreversible data deletion affecting network security configuration. The 'Destructive' category takes precedence over 'Write' because the operation cannot be reversed. High severity due to potential impact on network security rules and configurations.

From the tool's definition Tool name explicitly contains 'delete' and description states 'Delete an EdgeConnect ACL address group by name'. This is an irreversible deletion operation.
