RISK

Why delete_clip_markers_by_color is rated Critical

This qualifies as Destructive rather than Write (which is reversible).

From the tool's definition Tool name contains 'delete' and description states 'Delete all markers of a specific color on a clip' - this is an irreversible deletion operation that removes data from the video editing project.
