What merge_records does on Sanka MCP Server

AI agents call merge_records 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.

Why merge_records needs a policy

Merging records for companies or contacts is an irreversible operation: the duplicate records are consolidated into one, and the source records are destroyed or absorbed. This cannot be undone, placing it firmly in the Destructive category. The severity is critical because misuse could permanently destroy contact or company records at scale, with significant business impact.

From the tool's definition 'merge_records' - 'Apply a confirmed Sanka-native merge for duplicate companies or contacts' - merging records is irreversible as it consolidates data and typically deletes or overwrites duplicate entries permanently.
