Permanently delete a prompt from PromptingBox. This also deletes all versions and tag associations.
AI agents call delete_prompt to permanently remove resources in PromptingBox MCP Server — typically in cleanup and lifecycle workflows. It does its job in a single call, and there is no undo.
This tool irreversibly removes data (prompts, version history, and tags) that cannot be recovered. Although the blast radius is limited to prompt artifacts rather than critical systems or financial resources, the permanent destruction of user-created content with no undo capability places it in the Destructive category at high severity.
From the tool's definition Tool description states "Permanently delete a prompt" and "deletes all versions and tag associations," indicating irreversible deletion of data and associated metadata.
