Delete an email message. Moves to Deleted Items folder.
AI agents call outlook_delete_message to permanently remove resources in Sage MCP — typically in cleanup and lifecycle workflows. It does its job in a single call, and there is no undo.
Deleting email messages is an irreversible action in practical terms—users cannot recover deleted messages through normal means, and an AI agent with access to this tool could delete important communications, business records, or evidence. This constitutes data destruction and matches the Destructive category definition.
From the tool's definition Tool name contains 'delete' and description states 'Delete an email message.' The action moves messages to a Deleted Items folder, which is functionally permanent deletion from the user's active mailbox.
