What delete_template does on MCP Apple Reminders

AI agents call delete_template to permanently remove resources in MCP Apple Reminders — typically in cleanup and lifecycle workflows. It does its job in a single call, and there is no undo.

Why delete_template needs a policy

The delete_template tool performs an irreversible deletion of a template identified by UUID. While the blast radius is somewhat limited (affects only a single template, not production data at scale, and the template can be manually recreated), deletion cannot be undone through the tool itself. This qualifies as Destructive rather than Write.

From the tool's definition Tool name explicitly states 'delete' and description confirms 'Delete a template by UUID' - this is an irreversible deletion operation.
