What delete_checkpoint does on Context Travel MCP

AI agents call delete_checkpoint to permanently remove resources in Context Travel MCP — typically in cleanup and lifecycle workflows. It does its job in a single call, and there is no undo.

Why delete_checkpoint needs a policy

This tool permanently removes checkpoint data without recovery mechanism. While the blast radius is limited to context state rather than production data, the irreversible nature of deletion combined with the tool's core function of managing critical context state justifies Destructive classification over Write.
