# UMCPHandler_DeleteNodeFromGraph - Refactoring Notes

## What was done

- Converted from JSON output (`FJsonObject*`) to plain-text output (`FStringBuilderBase&`).
- MCPFetcher now receives `Result` (the FStringBuilderBase) as its error callback, so path resolution errors go directly to the caller as plain text.
- Removed the three `Result->SetStringField` calls that echoed nodeClass/nodeTitle/graph back. The output now just confirms the deletion with a single line.
- Removed both `UE_LOG` calls.
- Error messages for protected entry nodes now go through `MCPErrorCallback(Result)` instead of `MCPUtils::MakeErrorJson`.
- Removed the `#include "EdGraph/EdGraph.h"` include since `EdGraphNode.h` pulls it in (matching the example handler pattern).

## What's good about this handler

- The entry-node protection logic is solid and the error messages are detailed and helpful, explaining *why* the deletion is refused and what the user should do instead.
- MCPFetcher handles all the object resolution cleanly — the `Node` path parameter does all the work.
- The handler is concise; the bulk of the code is the entry-node guards, which is appropriate.

## Uncertainties / conservative choices

- I kept all three entry-node checks (`UK2Node_FunctionEntry`, `UK2Node_Event`, `UK2Node_CustomEvent`) as separate blocks with distinct error messages. They could be collapsed into one check, but the per-type messages are more informative.
- `UK2Node_CustomEvent` inherits from `UK2Node_Event`, so the `Cast<UK2Node_Event>` check would catch custom events too. The current ordering (FunctionEntry, Event, CustomEvent) means the CustomEvent branch is unreachable. If the intent is to give a different message for custom events, the CustomEvent check should come *before* the Event check. I left the order as-is to minimize diff, but this is worth reviewing.
- This handler operates on a single node. The coding standards mention batching where it makes sense. A batch-delete could be useful, but it changes the API signature, so I left it as single-node for now.
