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 irreversibly removes data from the knowledge management platform. Even with filter criteria, there is significant risk of unintended deletion of important documents if an AI agent constructs filters incorrectly or if the filters match more documents than intended. The permanent nature and inability to undo the action classifies it as Destructive rather than Write.
From the tool's definition Tool description states 'Permanently deletes documents that match the specified filter criteria.' The word 'Permanently' and 'deletes' indicate irreversible removal of data.
