user-invocable	true

The user wants to remove data from mempalace: $ARGUMENTS

IMPORTANT: This is a destructive operation. Always confirm with the user before deleting.

Quick start

Search with memory_smart_search, show matches, confirm with user, then call memory_governance_delete.

Why

Remove stale, incorrect, or private data from the palace.

Workflow

1. Call memory_smart_search with the user's input as query, limit: 20.
2. Show the user what was found (IDs, titles) and ask for explicit confirmation.
3. On confirmation, call memory_governance_delete with memoryIds: [<id>, ...].
4. To drop a whole session, collect all memory IDs from the search results.
5. Confirm the deletion count back to the user.

Anti-patterns

WRONG -- deleting without confirmation:

// Never auto-confirm. Always wait for explicit user approval.

RIGHT -- confirming first:

// "Found 3 observations. Delete all 3? [y/N]"

WRONG -- using bare sessionId:

// The MCP tool does not accept sessionId. Collect all memory IDs instead.

MCP tool unavailable

If MCP tools are unavailable:

1. Run /plugin list in Claude Code, confirm mempalace is enabled.
2. Restart Claude Code (.mcp.json is only read on startup).
3. Check /mcp to see if the mempalace MCP server is connected.
