What delete_item does on Miro MCP Server

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

Why delete_item needs a policy

Deletion of board items is a destructive operation that cannot be undone. While individual item deletion has moderate blast radius (depends on item importance), the capability to delete board content irreversibly warrants 'high' severity. Confidence is high due to explicit 'delete' language in both name and description, though actual impact depends on item criticality which an AI agent might misjudge.

From the tool's definition Tool name is 'delete_item' and description states 'Delete an item from the board' - this is irreversible deletion of data.
