Removes a version of a Sitecore item by path.
AI agents call common-remove-item-version-by-path to permanently remove resources in SitecoreMCP — typically in cleanup and lifecycle workflows. It does its job in a single call, and there is no undo.
This tool permanently deletes item versions from a Sitecore content management system. Version deletion cannot be undone through normal operations and results in permanent loss of content data. While it does not delete the entire item, removal of versions is an irreversible destructive action that warrants the highest severity classification.
From the tool's definition Tool name explicitly states 'remove-item-version' and description confirms it 'Removes a version of a Sitecore item by path.' The verb 'remove' combined with the irreversible deletion of content versions indicates destructive behavior.
