Delete a timeline event.
AI agents call mealie_timeline_delete to permanently remove resources in Mealie MCP Server — typically in cleanup and lifecycle workflows. It does its job in a single call, and there is no undo.
The tool performs a destructive operation by deleting a timeline event, which cannot be undone. This falls into the Destructive category (highest severity among non-financial operations). While the blast radius is limited to a single timeline event rather than bulk data, deletion operations are inherently irreversible. High confidence because the language is explicit and unambiguous.
From the tool's definition Tool name includes 'delete' and description states 'Delete a timeline event' — this irreversibly removes data.
