Delete files which have failed to transcode (table3) or unhealthy files (table6)
AI agents call tdarr_delete_unhealthy_files 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 permanently removes files from the system based on transcoding status or health criteria. Deletion is irreversible and represents data loss. While the blast radius is somewhat bounded (only targets unhealthy/failed files rather than arbitrary selections), the destructive nature and potential for unintended file loss (if health criteria are incorrectly applied or misunderstood) warrant high severity.
From the tool's definition Tool name explicitly contains "delete" and description states "Delete files which have failed to transcode (table3) or unhealthy files (table6)" — this is an irreversible deletion operation.
