Delete a Mealie recipe tool/utensil.
AI agents call delete_recipe_tool 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.
Deletion of recipe data is an irreversible action that cannot be undone through normal means. This falls squarely into the Destructive category as it permanently removes stored information. The severity is high because accidental or malicious deletion of recipes could result in loss of user data, though the blast radius is limited to recipe collections rather than system-wide damage.
From the tool's definition Tool name contains 'delete_recipe' and description states 'Delete a Mealie recipe tool/utensil' — the verb 'Delete' combined with the specific action of removing recipe data indicates an irreversible operation.
