WHAT IT DOES

What delete-member-type does on Mcp Dev

AI agents call delete-member-type 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.

RISK

Why delete-member-type is rated Critical

This tool permanently removes a member type from an Umbraco CMS instance. Deletion of CMS member types is irreversible and could affect user management systems, authentication flows, and dependent member records. While not as critical as deleting all members themselves, removing a member type definition has significant destructive potential.

From the tool's definition Tool name is 'delete-member-type' and description states 'Deletes a member type by id'. The verb 'deletes' combined with the operation of removing a member type indicates an irreversible destructive action.
