Summary

Added documentation for DeleteADAssessment API operation, including request/response syntax, parameters, errors, examples, and SDK references

Security assessment

Documents a security-related feature (directory assessment deletion) but does not indicate remediation of a specific vulnerability. The operation allows permanent deletion of assessment data which could impact audit trails, but this is standard functionality documentation rather than addressing a disclosed security issue.
