## Why delete_dashboard is rated Critical

This tool removes dashboards from Metabase, which is an irreversible destructive action. Although archiving may technically allow recovery in some systems, the primary semantic intent (deletion) and the potential data loss from losing dashboard configurations, saved queries, and metadata make this a Destructive operation.

From the tool's own definition: "The tool description explicitly states 'Delete (archive) a dashboard' — the word 'delete' indicates irreversible removal of data."

## Use case

AI agents call delete_dashboard to permanently remove resources in Metabase MCP, typically in cleanup and lifecycle workflows. It does its job in a single call, and there is no undo.

## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer)

Verdict: **Hidden**. Enforced by the PolicyLayer MCP gateway (https://policylayer.com/mcp-gateway) before a call reaches Metabase MCP:

```json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "hide": [
    "delete_dashboard"
  ]
}
```
