## Why mittwald_ssh_user_delete is rated Critical

Deleting an SSH user is a destructive action that cannot be undone without manual restoration. It removes authentication credentials and access, potentially locking out legitimate operations. The blast radius is high because an agent could inadvertently lock out administrators or break application deployments that depend on SSH user access.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name contains 'delete' and description states 'Delete an SSH user' — this is an irreversible removal of a user account and associated SSH access credentials."

## Use case

AI agents call mittwald_ssh_user_delete to permanently remove resources in Mittwald MCP Server, typically in cleanup and lifecycle workflows. It does its job in a single call, and there is no undo.

## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer)
