Delete a tag. It will be removed from all transactions that use it.
AI agents call firefly_delete_tag 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 data across multiple financial records. Deletion of tags cascades to affect all transactions tagged with it, making this irreversible and damaging if misused by an AI agent (e.g., deleting all expense categorization tags). While not as severe as deleting accounts or transactions directly, it still causes data loss and organizational disruption across the financial system.
From the tool's definition Tool name contains 'delete' and description states 'Delete a tag. It will be removed from all transactions that use it.' This is an irreversible operation that modifies multiple records (all transactions using the tag) without the ability to undo the deletion.
