async def delete_variable(key: str) -> List[Union[types.TextContent, types.ImageContent, types.EmbeddedResource]]: response = variable_api.delete_variable(variable_key=key) return [types.TextContent(type="text", text=str(response.to_dict()))] - src/airflow/variable.py:11-19 (registration)Registers the 'delete_variable' tool (line 18) as part of the list of variable-related tools returned by get_all_functions for MCP tool registration.
