Delete a list (column) from a board.
AI agents call delete_board_list to permanently remove resources in Mcp Trello — typically in cleanup and lifecycle workflows. It does its job in a single call, and there is no undo.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'delete_board_list' and description 'Delete a list (column) from a board' explicitly use the verb 'delete', which removes data irreversibly.
