Delete a product by id. Returns { deleted: boolean }.
AI agents call delete_product to permanently remove resources in MCP E-commerce Server — typically in cleanup and lifecycle workflows. It does its job in a single call, and there is no undo.
This tool permanently removes product records from the SQLite database with no undo capability. In an e-commerce context, deleting a product is irreversible and could result in loss of inventory data, order history associations, and business records. An AI agent misusing this could delete critical products, causing operational disruption and data loss.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'delete_product' and description 'Delete a product by id' explicitly indicate irreversible deletion of data from the e-commerce database.
