Delete an API key by ID. This action is permanent and cannot be undone. Any applications using this key will lose access.
AI agents call alfred_delete_api_key to permanently remove resources in Alfred MCP Server — typically in cleanup and lifecycle workflows. It does its job in a single call, and there is no undo.
The tool irreversibly deletes an API key, which cannot be recovered once removed. This action has immediate security and operational consequences—applications relying on the deleted key will lose access. The permanent nature ('cannot be undone') and the ripple effects on dependent applications classify this as Destructive rather than merely Write.
