Why unsubscribe needs a policy

The tool cancels/deactivates a subscription record but explicitly does not delete it, making the action reversible. This fits Write (modifies data reversibly) rather than Destructive. Severity is medium because misuse could cancel legitimate subscriptions, but the data is retained and the scope is limited to the user's own subscriptions.

From the tool's definition 'The row is deactivated (not deleted) so its historical events stay available via recent_alerts' — the operation is reversible (deactivation, not deletion); ownership is enforced limiting blast radius
