WHAT IT DOES

What bulk_file_operations does on AIquila — Nextcloud MCP Server

AI agents call bulk_file_operations to permanently remove resources in AIquila — Nextcloud MCP Server, typically in cleanup and lifecycle workflows. It does its job in a single call, and there is no undo.

RISK

Why bulk_file_operations is rated Critical

Although the tool also handles reversible operations (move, copy), the inclusion of delete functionality makes it Destructive per the rule that the most severe applicable category takes precedence. The bulk nature amplifies risk—a single malformed call could delete multiple files irreversibly.

From the tool's definition Tool explicitly permits "delete" operations as part of bulk file operations, which irreversibly removes data. Description states it executes "multiple file operations (move, copy, delete) sequentially."
