RISK

Why delete_postgresql_connection_pool is rated Critical

Deleting a connection pool is an irreversible action that removes database connectivity infrastructure. While not as severe as deleting the database itself, it can cause application outages and cannot be undone without manual reconfiguration. This fits the Destructive category as it removes data/configuration that cannot be automatically recovered.

From the tool's definition Tool name contains 'delete' and description states 'Delete a connection pool from a PostgreSQL database instance' - this irreversibly removes database infrastructure configuration.
