Delete a video permanently
AI agents call delete_video 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 video content, which cannot be undone. Destructive actions that irreversibly remove data represent a higher severity than Write operations. While the blast radius depends on which videos an agent might target, permanent deletion of media assets warrants 'high' severity.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'delete_video' combined with description 'Delete a video permanently' explicitly indicates irreversible deletion of data.
