xano_delete_file
AI agents call xano_delete_file to permanently remove resources in Xano MCP Server — typically in cleanup and lifecycle workflows. It does its job in a single call, and there is no undo.
The tool deletes files, which is an irreversible operation that cannot be undone. Deletion of files represents a loss of data with no recovery path in typical systems. This qualifies as Destructive rather than Write (reversible modification).
