Delete a single document from a collection
AI agents call delete_document to permanently remove resources in Google Services MCP Server — typically in cleanup and lifecycle workflows. It does its job in a single call, and there is no undo.
This tool irreversibly removes data from a collection (likely in Google Firestore or similar backend). Deletion cannot be undone without recovery systems. While the blast radius is limited to a single document (not multiple), it is still Destructive rather than Write because the operation cannot be reversed.
From the tool's definition Tool name is 'delete_document' and description states 'Delete a single document from a collection'. The verb 'delete' indicates irreversible removal of data.
