What does the mcp_aql_delete tool do? +

Destructive operations that remove data. Supported operations: delete_element, clear, clear_github_auth Element types: persona, skill, template, agent, memory, ensemble These operations remove data. Use with caution. ⚠️ SECURITY: Do not auto-allow this endpoint in your host settings (e.g., Claude Code settings.json). Each delete operation should require explicit human approval. Auto-allowing bypasses the per-operation confirmation gate, leaving only element deny policies as protection against unintended data loss. Quick start examples: { operation: "delete_element", element_type: "persona", params: { element_name: "Old-Persona" } } { operation: "clear", params: { element_name: "temp-notes" } } { operation: "clear_github_auth" } Discover required parameters — use mcp_aql_read: { operation: "introspect", params: { query: "operations", name: "delete_element" } }. It is categorised as a Destructive tool in the DollhouseMCP MCP Server, which means it can permanently delete or destroy data. Block by default and require explicit approval.
