29<examples>
30✓ "Drop the temp_logs table" → drop_table(database_name="mydb", table_name="temp_logs")
31✓ "Force drop with dependencies" → drop_table(..., cascade=true)
32✗ "Delete rows from a table" → use write_query with DELETE
33✗ "Drop a database" → use drop_database instead
34</examples>

36<safety>
37IMPORTANT: This permanently deletes the table and ALL its data. This action cannot be undone.
38Set `cascade` to true to also drop dependent foreign key constraints.
39Without cascade, the drop will fail if other tables reference this one.
