Remove a device from a fleet
AI agents call iot_fleet_remove_device to permanently remove resources in Ruflo — typically in cleanup and lifecycle workflows. It does its job in a single call, and there is no undo.
This tool permanently removes a device from fleet management, which cannot be undone without re-provisioning. While not a traditional data deletion, removing an IoT device from a fleet is a destructive operational action that disrupts service and cannot be easily reversed.
From the tool's definition 'Remove a device from a fleet' describes an irreversible deletion action on fleet infrastructure. The verb 'remove' in the context of IoT device management indicates permanent deletion or deprovisioning of a device from operational control.
