Delete a project by ID.
AI agents call vikunja_delete_project to permanently remove resources in Vikunja — typically in cleanup and lifecycle workflows. It does its job in a single call, and there is no undo.
Deleting a project is an irreversible operation that destroys data and cannot be undone. This falls squarely into the Destructive category, which takes precedence over Write operations. The severity is high because deletion of an entire project affects all associated tasks, comments, and metadata within that project, representing significant data loss.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'vikunja_delete_project' and description 'Delete a project by ID' explicitly indicate permanent removal of a project resource.
