Take a book off the signed-in reader's shelves entirely, discarding its shelf, progress and notes. The reader's rating for the book stays. Suits "take X off my shelves" and "remove X from my list". Moving a book between shelves is add_to_library with a new readingStatus. Needs a linked Siftivo account.

Not callable on this REST surface. It acts on the signed-in reader's own library, and this path answers 401 to every caller regardless of credentials. Reach it over MCP at https://api.siftivo.com/mcp, which runs the OAuth handshake.
