What delete_submission does on JotForm API Server

AI agents call delete_submission to permanently remove resources in JotForm API Server — typically in cleanup and lifecycle workflows. It does its job in a single call, and there is no undo.

Why delete_submission needs a policy

This tool permanently removes submission data from JotForm, which cannot be undone. While the blast radius is limited to a single submission at a time (rather than bulk deletion), the irreversible nature of the operation and potential impact on data integrity and compliance (e.g., record retention requirements) warrant a 'high' severity classification.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'delete_submission' and description 'Delete a single submission' indicate irreversible deletion of data. The verb 'delete' is explicitly destructive.
