Delete a specific Exchange asset version. Requires ANYPOINT_MCP_ADVANCED_TOOLS=true.
AI agents call exchange_delete_asset to permanently remove resources in Anypoint MCP Server — typically in cleanup and lifecycle workflows. It does its job in a single call, and there is no undo.
This tool permanently removes data (an Exchange asset version) from the MuleSoft Anypoint Platform. Deletion is an irreversible operation that cannot be undone, fitting the Destructive category. The high severity reflects that an AI agent misusing this could remove critical shared API assets, breaking dependencies for other teams and deployments.
From the tool's definition Tool name contains 'delete' and description explicitly states 'Delete a specific Exchange asset version'. The action is irreversible—once deleted, the asset version cannot be recovered without backups.
