Deletion of stills is a destructive action that cannot be undone. While the blast radius is somewhat limited to gallery assets rather than the entire project, the operation is permanent. Severity is 'high' rather than 'critical' because stills are typically supplementary media rather than core timeline content, though loss of custom work is still significant.

From the tool's definition The tool name explicitly states 'delete' and the description confirms it removes data ('Delete stills from a gallery album'). This is an irreversible operation that destroys user content.
