## Why stateset_delete_product_variant is rated Critical

This tool performs an irreversible deletion operation on product data.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name contains 'delete'; description states 'Deletes a product variant' and warns 'This may affect existing orders referencing this variant.' The tool irreversibly removes data and can have cascading effects on related orders."

## Use case

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