Remove an alert definition from an alert group
AI agents use ambari_alerts_removedefinitionfromgroup to create or update resources in Ambari MCP Server — usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Ambari MCP Server environment.
This tool modifies an alert group by removing a definition from it, which is a reversible write operation. The group and definition still exist; only their association is removed. This is not destructive (nothing is deleted permanently) and fits the Write category. Misuse could cause missed alerts, hence medium severity.
