WHAT IT DOES

What delete_gmail_email does on VaultAssist

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

RISK

Why delete_gmail_email is rated Critical

Deleting email is irreversible and destroys data. Although scoped to a single email (lower blast radius than batch operations), it still meets the Destructive category definition. Severity is high because email often contains sensitive information, financial records, or compliance-relevant communications, and deletion cannot be undone.

From the tool's definition Tool name includes 'delete' and description states 'Delete an email by its message ID' — this permanently removes email data without reversal.
