What delete_node does on Pinako AI Bridge

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

Why delete_node needs a policy

This tool irreversibly deletes data (node and associated metadata) with no undo mechanism, making it Destructive rather than merely Write. The severity is high because deletion of user's library/bookmark metadata could cause significant data loss, though blast radius is limited to local Pinako extension state rather than external systems.

From the tool's definition Tool description explicitly states 'DESTRUCTIVE — permanently removes a GHOST node' and 'its metadata (tags, memos, star color, custom title)'. The word 'permanently' combined with 'removes' indicates irreversible deletion.
