Remove empty units (units with no lessons or only empty lessons) from a course. This helps clean up failed creation attempts. IMPORTANT: This only removes units with completely empty lessons - units with real content are never touched.
AI agents call cleanup_empty_content to permanently remove resources in Reddit MCP Server — typically in cleanup and lifecycle workflows. It does its job in a single call, and there is no undo.
This tool permanently removes data (course units) from a structure. Even though safeguards exist (only empty units deleted), the deletion is irreversible, placing it in the Destructive category rather than Write. An AI agent misconfiguration could delete legitimate empty units that were intentionally preserved.
From the tool's definition 'Remove empty units...from a course' - the tool deletes course units irreversibly. While the description claims it only targets empty lessons, the deletion operation itself cannot be undone.
