Why fulfillment_cancel is rated Critical
Canceling a fulfillment order is an irreversible operation that destroys or terminates an order's active state. While not a data deletion in the database sense, it permanently changes the order lifecycle in a way that cannot be automatically reversed. This fits the Destructive category (actions that cannot be undone) more appropriately than Write (reversible modifications).
From the tool's definition Tool name "fulfillment_cancel" and description "Cancel a fulfillment order (if still cancellable)" indicate irreversible cancellation of an order state.
