What remove_skill does on Friday MCP Server

AI agents call remove_skill to permanently remove resources in Friday MCP Server — typically in cleanup and lifecycle workflows. It does its job in a single call, and there is no undo.

Why remove_skill needs a policy

The tool performs irreversible deletion of skills from the workspace. Although a backup is created for recovery purposes, the act of removal is destructive and non-atomic—the agent loses the skill's functionality immediately. This qualifies as Destructive (most severe) rather than Write, since it removes rather than modifies data, and the effects cannot be trivially reversed through normal tool operations.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'remove_skill' indicates deletion. Description states 'Remove a skill' — this is an irreversible deletion operation.
