/kill
op 2Entities/kill applies fatal damage to whatever matches the selector. The risk is always the selector, not the command — /kill on its own kills you, and /kill @e kills every entity in the world including players and item frames.

Common questions about /kill
›How do I kill all mobs without killing players?
Use /kill @e[type=!player]. Bear in mind this still removes item frames, armour stands, paintings and boats, since those are entities too.
›How do I clear dropped items?
/kill @e[type=item] removes item entities on the ground. Add distance= to keep it local rather than world-wide.
