WHAT IT DOES

RISK

Why ghl_delete_custom_field is rated Critical

This tool irreversibly deletes data—specifically a custom field and all associated data. Once executed, the field and its data cannot be recovered through the tool's normal operation. This is a classic destructive operation with significant blast radius if invoked against the wrong field or without proper authorization, as it affects all contacts/records using that custom field.

From the tool's definition Tool description states: 'Delete a custom field by ID. This will permanently remove the field and its data.' Keywords 'Delete' and 'permanently remove' are explicit indicators of destructive action.
