WHAT IT DOES

What delete_message_media does on instantKOM MCP Server

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

RISK

Why delete_message_media is rated Critical

Deletion of message media is a destructive action that cannot be undone. Once media is deleted, it is permanently removed from messages and cannot be recovered. This falls squarely into the Destructive category (not merely Write, which is reversible). The severity is high because an AI agent could be manipulated into deleting important user media, causing data loss.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'delete_message_media' and description 'Delete message media' explicitly perform deletion, which is an irreversible operation.
