Delete meta data from an order
AI agents call delete_order_meta to permanently remove resources in WooCommerce MCP Server — typically in cleanup and lifecycle workflows. It does its job in a single call, and there is no undo.
This tool irreversibly deletes data from WooCommerce orders. While metadata deletion may be less critical than deleting the order itself, it still represents permanent data loss that cannot be undone. The high severity reflects that corrupted or missing order metadata could impact order processing, refund tracking, or other critical order operations.
From the tool's definition Tool name explicitly contains 'delete' and description states 'Delete meta data from an order'. The delete operation is irreversible and permanently removes order metadata.
