Delete (trash) a notebook by id (WRITE).
AI agents call delete_notebook to permanently remove resources in Dynatrace SaaS MCP Server — typically in cleanup and lifecycle workflows. It does its job in a single call, and there is no undo.
Although the description parenthetically notes '(WRITE)', the actual operation is deletion—removing a notebook record from Dynatrace. This is irreversible data loss (or near-irreversible if trash has retention limits). An AI agent with access to this tool could accidentally or maliciously delete important monitoring notebooks, dashboards, or documentation.
From the tool's definition Tool name is 'delete_notebook' and description explicitly states 'Delete (trash) a notebook by id'. The action removes a notebook from the system, which is irreversible deletion even though it goes to trash rather than permanent purge.
