What selection_delete does on Open Brush MCP Server

AI agents call selection_delete to permanently remove resources in Open Brush MCP Server — typically in cleanup and lifecycle workflows. It does its job in a single call, and there is no undo.

Why selection_delete needs a policy

The tool performs an irreversible delete operation on selected content within Open Brush. While the blast radius is limited to the current painting session (data may be recoverable via undo or backup), the action cannot be undone through the tool itself and represents permanent data loss within that context. This qualifies as Destructive rather than Write (which would be reversible modification).

From the tool's definition Tool name 'selection_delete' and description 'Deletes current selection' indicate irreversible removal of data from the 3D painting canvas.
