What delete_dashboard_query does on Deloc
AI agents call delete_dashboard_query to permanently remove resources in Deloc, typically in cleanup and lifecycle workflows. It does its job in a single call, and there is no undo.
Why delete_dashboard_query is rated Critical
Although the underlying data file ({name}.json) persists, the tool permanently removes the scheduled query automation, which cannot be undone without recreating it. This is a destructive operation with side effects. An AI agent misusing this could disable critical monitoring or reporting workflows.
From the tool's definition Tool name explicitly contains 'delete'; description states it deletes a scheduled dashboard query, causing the query to 'stop refreshing'—an irreversible action that removes automation and data updates.
