Delete a layout preset.
AI agents call resolve_delete_layout_preset to permanently remove resources in Resolve — typically in cleanup and lifecycle workflows. It does its job in a single call, and there is no undo.
Deleting a layout preset permanently removes a saved UI configuration. This is irreversible (no undo for preset deletion), placing it in the Destructive category. Severity is medium since it affects only a UI preset, not project media or timelines.
From the tool's definition 'Delete a layout preset' — the word 'delete' indicates irreversible removal of a named layout preset.
