Remove a label from the inventory.
AI agents call homebox_delete_label to permanently remove resources in Homebox MCP Server — typically in cleanup and lifecycle workflows. It does its job in a single call, and there is no undo.
The tool deletes a label, which irreversibly removes data from the inventory system. Even though the blast radius is limited to a single label (not cascading item deletions), deletion operations are always classified as Destructive per the hierarchy. Severity is high because removing a label could break organizational structures that depend on it, affecting the usability and categorization of the inventory.
From the tool's definition Tool name contains "delete" and description states "Remove a label from the inventory" – this is an irreversible deletion operation that cannot be undone.
