## Why delete_contact is rated Critical

This tool performs an irreversible deletion operation on contact records. Although 'archive' may be reversible depending on implementation, the inclusion of 'delete' in the description indicates capability for permanent data removal. Contact deletion is destructive because it removes business-critical customer/contact information that typically cannot be undone.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool description explicitly states 'delete a contact' and 'Archive or delete', indicating irreversible removal of contact data. The phrase 'delete' combined with contact management context means data cannot be recovered through normal operations."

## Use case

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

## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer)
