What delete_shipping_profile does on Kiln
AI agents call delete_shipping_profile to permanently remove resources in Kiln, typically in cleanup and lifecycle workflows. It does its job in a single call, and there is no undo.
Why delete_shipping_profile is rated Critical
The tool permanently removes a shipping profile, which cannot be undone. While the impact is scoped to a local configuration file (not critical system data), deletion is irreversible and represents loss of user-configured state. Severity is medium rather than high because the blast radius is limited to a single profile in a 3D printer management context, not financial transactions or multi-user systems.
From the tool's definition Tool name contains 'delete' and description states 'Delete a saved local shipping profile' — irreversible removal of stored data.
