List Collectives that have been soft-deleted. These can be restored or permanently deleted.
AI agents call list_trashed_collectives to retrieve information from Collectives without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool only queries and returns data about soft-deleted collectives. It does not modify, delete, or restore anything. The description explicitly states items 'can be restored or permanently deleted' as separate future actions, not part of this tool's operation.
