Delete one household recipe action by ID.
AI agents call delete_recipe_action to permanently remove resources in Mealie 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 a recipe from the Mealie system. Deletion is irreversible and cannot be undone through normal operations. While the blast radius is somewhat limited to a single recipe rather than bulk deletion, this still constitutes a destructive action that warrants high severity. An AI agent misusing this could inadvertently delete important recipes without recovery options.
From the tool's definition Tool name contains 'delete' and description states 'Delete one household recipe action by ID.' The verb 'delete' combined with the explicit action of removing a recipe indicates irreversible data destruction.
