What key_delete does on Redis MCP

AI agents call key_delete to permanently remove resources in Redis MCP — typically in cleanup and lifecycle workflows. It does its job in a single call, and there is no undo.

Why key_delete needs a policy

This tool irreversibly deletes data from Redis. Even though individual key deletion may have limited blast radius compared to db_flush, it is categorized as Destructive (the most severe applicable category) because the action cannot be undone and results in permanent data loss.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'key_delete' with description '删除键' (Chinese: 'delete key') performs irreversible deletion of data from Redis database.
