{ name: "delete_directory", description: "Permanently delete a directory and all of its contents, including all files and subdirectories. This is a recursive operation that cannot be undone. Use with extreme caution.", inputSchema: { type: "object", properties: { path: { type: "string", description: "The path to the directory to delete", }, }, required: ["path"], }, }, - src/index.ts:261-263 (registration)The server request handler for ListToolsRequestSchema that returns the TOOLS array, registering delete_directory among available tools.
