Why delete_uib_page is rated Critical
Deletion of UI Builder pages cannot be undone and represents permanent loss of custom interface configurations. While not as critical as data loss affecting operations, it is destructive in nature and warrants a 'Destructive' classification rather than 'Write'. Severity is high because unauthorized deletion of application pages could impact user workflows and require recovery from backups.
From the tool's definition delete_uib_page deletes a UI Builder page, which is an irreversible removal of data/configuration. The tool name explicitly contains 'delete' and the description confirms it performs a deletion operation.
