kv2-delete-specific-versions
AI agents call kv2-delete-specific-versions to permanently remove resources in Vault MCP Server (mschuchard) — typically in cleanup and lifecycle workflows. It does its job in a single call, and there is no undo.
This tool irreversibly deletes data (secret versions) from Vault. Deletion cannot be undone—deleted versions cannot be recovered without a Vault backup restore. The critical severity reflects that an AI agent could permanently destroy access to secrets, breach compliance requirements, or disable system operations.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'kv2-delete-specific-versions' explicitly indicates deletion of specific versions from Vault's KV v2 secret engine. The verb 'delete' combined with 'specific-versions' describes an irreversible removal operation.
