Delete an existing opportunity in Salesforce.
AI agents call delete_opportunity to permanently remove resources in Salesforce MCP Server — typically in cleanup and lifecycle workflows. It does its job in a single call, and there is no undo.
Deletion of data records is irreversible and cannot be undone without manual recovery or backups. In a Salesforce context, deleting an opportunity removes a sales record that may represent significant business value and pipeline data. This is classified as Destructive rather than Execute because the action itself (deletion) is inherently destructive, not conditional on arguments.
From the tool's definition Tool name is 'delete_opportunity' and description states 'Delete an existing opportunity in Salesforce.' The word 'delete' combined with the irreversible nature of removing a sales opportunity record makes this a destructive action.
