WHAT IT DOES

What delete_team_member_by_id does on instantKOM MCP Server

AI agents call delete_team_member_by_id 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_team_member_by_id is rated Critical

Deletion of team members is a destructive action that cannot be reversed without manual intervention (e.g., re-adding the member). An AI agent with access to this tool could maliciously remove legitimate team members, disrupt operations, or cause data loss. This is more severe than Write (which is reversible) and warrants high severity due to potential operational impact.

From the tool's definition Tool name contains 'delete' and description states 'Delete a team member by ID' — this irreversibly removes a user account or team membership with no undo mechanism.
