Move a document to the recycle bin
AI agents call move-document-to-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.
Moving a document to the recycle bin removes it from the active content tree. While technically recoverable in some CMS implementations, recycle bin operations are conventionally treated as destructive because they remove content from production visibility and may be permanently deleted later. The action is not a simple write/update and has significant blast radius if misused on published content.
