Cancel a Teladoc appointment
AI agents call cancel_appointment to permanently remove resources in Teladoc MCP Server — typically in cleanup and lifecycle workflows. It does its job in a single call, and there is no undo.

This qualifies as Destructive due to the irreversible nature of the action. Severity is high because misuse by an AI agent could disrupt a patient's access to medical care.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'cancel_appointment' and description 'Cancel a Teladoc appointment' — cancellation of a scheduled appointment is an irreversible action that removes a booked healthcare visit.
