Nope, their complaint about having an API ask if you should delete or not clearly shows the author has no idea how API works. They could have said that a deletion API could require 2 different requests, one for the deletion request that returns a token and another for confirmation with the token returned by the first request, but this is not what they said so.

Also as others have said, this wouldn't have helped anyway because the AI could just call both APIs one after another and the result would be the same, especially if the first request returns "call this other endpoint with this token to confirm your deletion request".
