Why delete_contact needs a policy

This tool irreversibly removes data (a contact record) from the system and cascadingly from associated sequences, campaigns, and tags. There is no recovery mechanism. This meets the definition of Destructive: 'irreversibly deletes or overwrites data, or actions that cannot be undone.' While the blast radius depends on which contact is targeted, permanent deletion of CRM records represents significant data loss risk.

From the tool's definition Tool description explicitly states: 'Permanently delete a single contact record. This cannot be undone.' The verb 'delete' combined with 'permanently' and 'cannot be undone' are definitive markers of destructive operations.
