Deletes a media item from the recycle bin by Id.
AI agents call delete-media-from-recycle-bin to permanently remove resources in Mcp Dev — typically in cleanup and lifecycle workflows. It does its job in a single call, and there is no undo.
The tool irreversibly deletes media from the recycle bin. While it operates on already-deleted items (from a user perspective), permanent removal from the recycle bin cannot be undone and represents data loss. This is a Destructive action rather than Execute because the operation itself is a deletion action, not arbitrary code execution.
From the tool's definition Tool name includes 'delete' and description states 'Deletes a media item from the recycle bin by Id' — this is permanent removal of data.
