Delete a shopping list by UUID.
AI agents call delete_shopping_list to permanently remove resources in Mcp Mealie — typically in cleanup and lifecycle workflows. It does its job in a single call, and there is no undo.
This tool performs an irreversible deletion of a shopping list. Destructive operations that remove data and cannot be undone are the most severe category after Financial. The blast radius is high because an AI agent could accidentally delete important shopping lists if misled or misconfigured, causing data loss for the user. Confidence is high because the name and description unambiguously indicate deletion.
From the tool's definition delete_shopping_list: Delete a shopping list by UUID. The verb 'Delete' and the action of removing a shopping list indicate irreversible data removal.
