Delete a budget. Transactions linked to this budget will have their budget cleared.
AI agents call firefly_delete_budget to permanently remove resources in Firefly III 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 financial data (a budget) from the system. While the transactions themselves remain, the budget record and its associations are irreversibly deleted. This cannot be undone through normal API operations and represents data loss.
From the tool's definition Tool name is 'firefly_delete_budget' and description states it will 'Delete a budget.' The verb 'delete' combined with the irreversible nature of removing a budget (which clears associated transaction metadata) makes this a destructive action.
