What delete does on KevoDB MCP Server

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

Why delete needs a policy

The delete operation permanently removes a key-value pair, which cannot be undone. This is an irreversible data loss operation, making it Destructive rather than Write. In the context of an AI agent with database access, an accidental or malicious deletion could result in permanent data loss.

From the tool's definition Tool name is 'delete' with description 'Delete a key-value pair from KevoDB' — this irreversibly removes data from the database.
