Delete a backup. This action cannot be undone.
AI agents call kinsta.backups.delete to permanently remove resources in Kinsta MCP Server — typically in cleanup and lifecycle workflows. It does its job in a single call, and there is no undo.
This tool irreversibly deletes backup data, which cannot be recovered once removed. Backups are critical infrastructure components for disaster recovery and data protection. An AI agent misusing this tool could cause permanent loss of site data recovery options, creating significant operational impact. The explicit 'cannot be undone' warning confirms this meets the Destructive category definition.
From the tool's definition Tool description explicitly states 'Delete a backup. This action cannot be undone.' The name 'kinsta.backups.delete' combined with the irreversible nature documented in the description clearly indicates a destructive operation.
