🗑️ `delete_file`

Safely delete files or directories with protection mechanisms

// Delete a file
delete_file({
  path: "/path/to/file.txt"
})

// Delete a directory (requires recursive flag)
delete_file({
  path: "/path/to/directory",
  recursive: true,              // Required for directories
  force: false                  // Force deletion of read-only files
})

⚠️ Safety Features:

🔒 Only works within allowed directories
📁 Requires recursive: true for non-empty directories
🛡️ Protection against accidental deletion
