What delete_character does on DM20 Protocol

AI agents call delete_character to permanently remove resources in DM20 Protocol — typically in cleanup and lifecycle workflows. It does its job in a single call, and there is no undo.

Why delete_character needs a policy

This tool irreversibly deletes data (a campaign character). Even in a game context, character deletion cannot be undone and represents permanent loss of game progress and player investment. The multiple ways to specify a character (name, ID, player name) increase the blast radius if an AI agent misidentifies which character to delete. Destructive is the most severe applicable category and takes precedence over Write.

From the tool's definition 'Delete a character from the current campaign' - the tool permanently removes character data with no indication of recovery or undo capability. Accepts multiple identifier types (character name, ID, player name) which increases risk of accidental deletion.
