Soft-delete a presentation
AI agents call delete_presentation to permanently remove resources in Makeslates — typically in cleanup and lifecycle workflows. It does its job in a single call, and there is no undo.
This tool deletes presentation data. Although described as a 'soft-delete' (suggesting potential recovery), the operation from the user's standpoint is irreversible in typical workflows. Destructive category applies because the tool's primary function is to delete data. Severity is high due to potential loss of presentation work, though not critical since soft-delete may allow recovery by administrators.
From the tool's definition Tool name is 'delete_presentation' and description states 'Soft-delete a presentation'. This operation removes or marks as deleted a presentation object, which is irreversible from a user perspective (even if technically recoverable via soft-delete).
