Remove a document from the navigator.

This tool permanently deletes or removes documents, which cannot be undone. Although the impact is scoped to document management rather than affecting external systems, the irreversible nature of deletion and the potential loss of important data justifies the Destructive category and high severity.
From the tool's definition Tool name is 'remove_document' with description 'Remove a document from the navigator.' The verb 'remove' indicates deletion or irreversible removal of a document.
