Permanently delete a note by title.
AI agents call delete_note to permanently remove resources in Notes MCP Server — typically in cleanup and lifecycle workflows. It does its job in a single call, and there is no undo.
This tool irreversibly removes data (a note) with no recovery mechanism. Even though the blast radius is limited to individual notes rather than entire systems, permanent deletion of user data is a destructive action that warrants high severity. An AI agent with unchecked access could delete important notes without recovery options.
From the tool's definition Tool name is 'delete_note' and description states 'Permanently delete a note by title.' The word 'Permanently' indicates the action cannot be undone.
