## Example call (MCP tools/call, JSON-RPC 2.0)

```json
{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "id": 1,
  "method": "tools/call",
  "params": {
    "name": "list_delete",
    "arguments": {}
  }
}
```

## Why list_delete is rated Critical

The name 'list_delete' contains 'delete', which typically indicates irreversible deletion. Given the server context (container-based MCP with file and knowledge base operations) and sibling tools like 'fs_delete', this tool likely deletes a list or list items permanently.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name contains 'delete', which strongly implies irreversible removal of data."

## Use case

AI agents call list_delete to permanently remove resources in Container-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 Container-MCP:

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