Remove a plant from the FarmBot garden by its ID. Permanently deletes the plant point. Use farmbot_list_plants first to find the ID.
AI agents call farmbot_remove_plant to permanently remove resources in Farmbot Agent — typically in cleanup and lifecycle workflows. It does its job in a single call, and there is no undo.
This tool removes plant records from the FarmBot garden with no undo mechanism. While the blast radius is limited to garden metadata rather than financial or system-critical operations, permanent deletion of user data without recovery options qualifies as Destructive. The high severity reflects that an errant AI agent could delete all plants in a garden, causing loss of gardening records and plans.
From the tool's definition 'Permanently deletes the plant point' – the description explicitly states irreversible deletion of data.
