Delete multiple shopping items.
AI agents call delete_shopping_items 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 shopping list items without the ability to undo the action. While the blast radius is somewhat limited to shopping data rather than critical system files, the destructive nature of deletion operations and the potential to lose important shopping records justifies the 'Destructive' category and 'high' severity. An AI agent misusing this could inadvertently clear an entire shopping list.
From the tool's definition Tool name explicitly states 'delete_shopping_items' and description confirms 'Delete multiple shopping items' — this performs irreversible deletion of data.
