automation \u00b7 DELETE /automation/delete \u2014 Disable instance of the object. Requires a JSON request body.
AI agents call automation_delete to permanently remove resources in Vicarius vRx MCP Server — typically in cleanup and lifecycle workflows. It does its job in a single call, and there is no undo.
Although the description uses 'Disable' rather than 'Delete', the HTTP DELETE method combined with the action of removing/disabling an automation instance means this tool irreversibly removes or deactivates data. This cannot be undone without manual intervention, making it Destructive rather than Write.
From the tool's definition Tool name is 'automation_delete' and description states 'DELETE /automation/delete — Disable instance of the object.' The HTTP method is DELETE and the action irreversibly disables an automation instance.
