Delete a file on disk of a file in Tdarr DB
AI agents call tdarr_delete_file to permanently remove resources in Tdarr — typically in cleanup and lifecycle workflows. It does its job in a single call, and there is no undo.
This tool irreversibly deletes files from disk and database records, preventing recovery. This is a destructive operation with high blast radius if misused by an AI agent, as it could result in loss of media files, transcoding data, or workflow records. The action cannot be undone.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'tdarr_delete_file' combined with description 'Delete a file on disk of a file in Tdarr DB' explicitly indicates permanent removal of data from both filesystem and database.
