WHAT IT DOES

What image_delete_unused does on WordPress MCP Server

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

RISK

Why image_delete_unused is rated Critical

This tool permanently removes image files from the WordPress installation. Even though it targets 'unused' images, the deletion operation is irreversible and cannot be undone by normal means. The warning in the description ('VORSICHT!' = 'WARNING!') confirms the destructive nature. An AI agent misusing this could permanently remove legitimate image assets, causing data loss.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'image_delete_unused' and description 'Löscht Bilder die nicht verwendet werden (VORSICHT!)' [Deletes images that are not used (WARNING!)] explicitly performs irreversible deletion of media files.
