Delete a navigation menu
AI agents call delete_menu to permanently remove resources in Shopify Graphql — typically in cleanup and lifecycle workflows. It does its job in a single call, and there is no undo.
This tool permanently removes navigation menus from a Shopify store, which cannot be undone and constitutes data destruction. While the blast radius is limited to store navigation UI (not customer data or financial records), the irreversible nature and potential to disrupt store functionality elevates this to Destructive rather than Write.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'delete_menu' with description 'Delete a navigation menu' explicitly performs an irreversible deletion operation on store configuration data.
