Delete files or folders. [control]
AI agents call delete_item to permanently remove resources in Synology 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 files or folders from the Synology NAS without reversibility. Even though the impact is scoped to user-accessible files on a single NAS rather than system-wide or affecting multiple endpoints, the irreversible destruction of user data constitutes a destructive action with high blast radius if an AI agent maliciously or incorrectly targets important files or folders.
From the tool's definition Tool name is 'delete_item' with description 'Delete files or folders.' The verb 'delete' indicates irreversible removal of data.
