AI agents call ppt_delete_table_row to permanently remove resources in Ppt — typically in cleanup and lifecycle workflows. It does its job in a single call, and there is no undo.
This tool permanently removes data (a table row) from a presentation in an irreversible manner. Deletion operations that cannot be undone without user intervention fall into the Destructive category. While the blast radius is contained to a single presentation element rather than an entire file, the irreversible nature of the deletion and potential loss of presentation content justifies a 'high' severity rating.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'ppt_delete_table_row' and description 'Delete a row from a table' explicitly use the word 'Delete', which is an irreversible operation.
