Remove a clip from a collection.
AI agents call opus_remove_clip_from_collection to permanently remove resources in Apple Shortcuts — typically in cleanup and lifecycle workflows. It does its job in a single call, and there is no undo.
The tool explicitly removes a clip from a collection, which is a destructive action that irreversibly dissociates or deletes the clip from its collection. Removal operations are typically not undoable without manual re-adding. Severity is high because an AI agent could remove important clips from organized collections, potentially losing organizational structure or content.
