Delete a conversation permanently
AI agents call delete_conversation to permanently remove resources in Tavus MCP Server — typically in cleanup and lifecycle workflows. It does its job in a single call, and there is no undo.
This tool permanently deletes conversation data, which cannot be undone or recovered. Permanent deletion of user-generated or system data is a destructive action. While the impact is scoped to a single conversation record (not widespread), the irreversible nature and potential loss of conversation history, transcripts, or related metadata justify the 'Destructive' category and 'high' severity.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'delete_conversation' with description 'Delete a conversation permanently' explicitly indicates irreversible deletion of data.
