Deletes an ONTAP volume by UUID. Returns a preview first — show it to the user and get
AI agents call ontap_volume_delete to permanently remove resources in Google Cloud NetApp Volumes 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 storage volumes, which destroys data that cannot be recovered. Even though it shows a preview first, the core action is irreversible deletion of infrastructure/data. This falls under the Destructive category with critical severity due to the scale of potential data loss and lack of undo capability.
From the tool's definition Tool name explicitly states 'delete' and description says 'Deletes an ONTAP volume by UUID'. Volume deletion is irreversible data destruction.
