Removes a shape from a slide
AI agents call delete_shape to permanently remove resources in Keynote MCP Server — typically in cleanup and lifecycle workflows. It does its job in a single call, and there is no undo.
This tool irreversibly deletes data (a shape object) from a presentation slide. While the scope is narrower than deleting an entire presentation, the action cannot be undone programmatically through this tool alone. Deletion operations fall under the Destructive category, which ranks higher in severity than Write (create/modify).
From the tool's definition Tool name is 'delete_shape' and description states 'Removes a shape from a slide' — the verb 'Removes' and action of deletion indicate irreversible removal of content.
