recipe_delete

Skills / Recipes · macOS · Windows

Effect: delete (strongest supported action). Status: gated.

Gated means the tool requires an installed app, a connected account, permission, or runtime availability. Check those requirements on the listed platform before using it.

macOS

Purpose

Use this when the user wants to remove one of THEIR saved recipes/skills (the manifests under ~/.local/share/local-mcp/recipes). Destructive with a preview gate: the first call (without confirm) shows what would be deleted; call again with confirm=true to actually delete. Bundled starter recipes can't be deleted. To modify a recipe instead, recipe_save with the same name overwrites it (upsert).

Required inputs

name — Recipe name (from recipe_list).

Permissions and confirmation

Explicit confirmation parameter: inspect the schema and tool description before any real call. The documentation example keeps confirm false. Obtain user authorization before performing the action.

Use only the apps, accounts and resources authorized by the user on this platform. Consult this tool's platform-specific description for its connection and permission requirements; this catalog does not assert additional OAuth scopes or OS entitlements.
