batch_delete_documents
AI agents call batch_delete_documents to permanently remove resources in Outline MCP Server — typically in cleanup and lifecycle workflows. It does its job in a single call, and there is no undo.
Batch deletion is a destructive operation that irreversibly removes documents and cannot be undone. The batch nature amplifies risk by enabling deletion of many documents in a single call. This is more severe than Write (which is reversible) and warrants Destructive classification.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'batch_delete_documents' explicitly indicates deletion of multiple documents in batch operation.
