WHAT IT DOES

What delete_course does on Webcake Storefront

AI agents call delete_course to permanently remove resources in Webcake Storefront, typically in cleanup and lifecycle workflows. It does its job in a single call, and there is no undo.

RISK

Why delete_course is rated Critical

This tool performs an irreversible delete operation on a course and its dependent data (tracks). According to the classification rules, destructive actions that cannot be undone (delete, drop, purge) take highest precedence over write operations. The blast radius is significant because deleting a course removes all associated content and metadata, affecting customers, sales, and storefront organization.

From the tool's definition The tool description explicitly states 'Delete a course by id (also deletes its tracks),' which indicates irreversible deletion of data. The cascading deletion of associated tracks compounds the destructive impact.
