Remove an additional SFTP/SSH user account from an environment.
AI agents call kinsta.sftp-users.remove 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.
Removing a user account cannot be undone and permanently revokes access. This is a destructive operation affecting infrastructure security and access control. While not as severe as a full site deletion, account removal is irreversible and impacts infrastructure management. Severity is high rather than critical because it affects a single user account rather than bulk data or the entire site.
From the tool's definition Tool name contains 'remove' and description states 'Remove an additional SFTP/SSH user account' — this is an irreversible deletion of a user account and access credentials.
