What deleteSection does on OneNoteMCP

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

Why deleteSection needs a policy

An AI agent that decides to call deleteSection doesn't hesitate, doesn't double-check, and doesn't stop at one. Whatever it removes from OneNoteMCP is gone — there is no undo for destructive operations.
