What delete_user_api_token does on Mealie MCP Server
AI agents call delete_user_api_token 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.
Why delete_user_api_token is rated Critical
This tool permanently removes an API token from the system, which is an irreversible destructive action. While not a direct data deletion, destroying authentication credentials has high blast radius if misused by an agent—an attacker could delete legitimate tokens to disrupt service access or cover tracks. This falls squarely into the Destructive category rather than Write, since the deletion cannot be undone.
From the tool's definition Tool name contains 'delete' and description states 'Delete one Mealie API token by ID.' The action is irreversible—once an API token is deleted, it cannot be recovered without re-issuing a new one.
