Removes a text item from a slide
AI agents call delete_text_item 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.
Deleting a text item from a slide is an irreversible destructive action. Once removed, the text content is lost unless the user manually undoes it or has a backup. This fits the Destructive category as it permanently removes data. Severity is medium because it affects content within a single presentation rather than entire files or systems.
From the tool's definition 'Removes a text item from a slide' — the word 'Removes' indicates irreversible deletion of content from a presentation slide.
