What delete_object does on FreeCAD MCP

AI agents call delete_object to permanently remove resources in FreeCAD MCP — typically in cleanup and lifecycle workflows. It does its job in a single call, and there is no undo.

Why delete_object needs a policy

Deleting objects in FreeCAD is an irreversible operation that removes design data from the document. While not as severe as full document destruction, it permanently eliminates specific modeling work. The high severity reflects the potential for significant loss of user work if an AI agent inappropriately deletes critical components of a 3D model.

From the tool's definition Tool name is 'delete_object' and description explicitly states 'Delete an object in FreeCAD.' The verb 'delete' combined with the direct action of removing objects from a CAD model indicates irreversible data destruction.
