Permanently deletes documents that match the specified filter criteria.
AI agents call deleteDocuments to permanently remove resources in SourceSync Ai MCP Server — typically in cleanup and lifecycle workflows. It does its job in a single call, and there is no undo.
This tool performs irreversible deletion of data (documents) based on filter criteria. Destructive operations pose a high risk because an AI agent could misuse filter parameters to delete unintended documents, causing permanent data loss. The blast radius depends on how broad the filters are, but permanent deletion of knowledge management platform documents represents significant and irrecoverable harm.
From the tool's definition Tool name is 'deleteDocuments' and description states it 'Permanently deletes documents that match the specified filter criteria.' The use of 'Permanently deletes' explicitly indicates irreversible data removal.
