Permanently delete a recipe from Mealie. This action cannot be undone.
AI agents call delete_recipe to permanently remove resources in Mealie 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 recipe record) with no recovery mechanism. While the blast radius is limited to recipe data rather than critical system data, the permanent nature and inability to undo the action places it in the Destructive category at high severity. Confidence is high because the description is unambiguous about the destructive nature of the operation.
From the tool's definition Tool description explicitly states: "Permanently delete a recipe from Mealie. This action cannot be undone." The word "Permanently" combined with "cannot be undone" directly indicates irreversible data deletion.
