What delete_read does on Mcp Elevenreader

AI agents call delete_read to permanently remove resources in Mcp Elevenreader — typically in cleanup and lifecycle workflows. It does its job in a single call, and there is no undo.

Why delete_read needs a policy

Deletion of library items is an irreversible operation that cannot be undone. This falls squarely into the Destructive category as it permanently removes user data. Severity is high because deleting reads from a library could result in loss of user's reading progress, bookmarks, or documents, though the blast radius is typically limited to one user's library rather than system-wide data.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'delete_read' explicitly indicates deletion operation. Description states 'Delete a read from the library' - direct confirmation of irreversible removal of data.
