Delete multiple sheets from a Google Sheets spreadsheet in a single operation
AI agents call sheets_batch_delete_sheets to permanently remove resources in MCP Google Sheets Server — typically in cleanup and lifecycle workflows. It does its job in a single call, and there is no undo.
This tool irreversibly deletes one or more sheets from a spreadsheet. Sheet deletion cannot be undone through normal API operations and results in permanent loss of all data contained within those sheets. While individual cell deletion via sheets_clear_values might be reversible through undo or recovery, deleting entire sheets is a destructive structural operation.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'sheets_batch_delete_sheets' and description 'Delete multiple sheets from a Google Sheets spreadsheet in a single operation' explicitly indicate deletion of sheet objects, which is irreversible data destruction.
