How would you document a destructive API endpoint safely?

This tests balancing legal safety and usability for irreversible API operations. Strong answers use signal words like WARNING, direct imperatives, and distinct formatting. Red flag: vague phrases like 'be careful' or burying warnings in prose.
This tests balancing legal liability, user safety, and developer experience when documenting irreversible API actions. A strong answer uses a signal word like WARNING, direct imperatives, concrete cause-and-effect statements, and visual separation from body text so alerts are scannable without alarm fatigue. It also prioritizes the most serious, non-obvious risks over exhaustive edge-case lists. Red flag: passive or vague language like 'be careful' or burying the warning in dense prose.
