Delete a TV series or specific seasons from Sonarr
AI agents call delete_series to permanently remove resources in Sonarr MCP Server — typically in cleanup and lifecycle workflows. It does its job in a single call, and there is no undo.
This tool permanently removes TV series metadata and potentially associated files/records from the Sonarr database. Deletion is irreversible and cannot be undone, making it Destructive rather than Write. The high severity reflects the potential loss of series tracking data and configurations. Confidence is very high due to explicit 'delete' terminology and clear destructive semantics.
From the tool's definition Tool name explicitly contains 'delete' and description states 'Delete a TV series or specific seasons from Sonarr'. The server description confirms this tool irreversibly removes data: 'supports searching, adding, updating, and deleting TV series'.
