Delete a specific trade lock by ID.
AI agents call delete_lock to permanently remove resources in Freqtrade-MCP — typically in cleanup and lifecycle workflows. It does its job in a single call, and there is no undo.
This tool permanently removes a trade lock record, which cannot be undone and affects the bot's trading protection state. While not as severe as deleting funds directly, trade locks often prevent risky or unwanted trades; removing them irreversibly changes bot behavior and risk profile.
From the tool's definition Tool name contains 'delete' and description states 'Delete a specific trade lock by ID' — irreversible removal of a trading lock that may have been protecting against specific trade scenarios.
