What deleteEvent does on Claude MCP x Google Docs
AI agents call deleteEvent to permanently remove resources in Claude MCP x Google Docs, typically in cleanup and lifecycle workflows. It does its job in a single call, and there is no undo.
Why deleteEvent is rated Critical
deleteEvent irreversibly removes calendar events without the ability to undo or recover them. This is a destructive operation that permanently deletes data. While not as severe as wholesale data destruction, unauthorized deletion of calendar events could disrupt scheduling, business continuity, and cause significant operational harm.
From the tool's definition "Deletes an event from a Google Calendar. This is permanent — the event is removed, not trashed." The description explicitly states the action is permanent and irreversible.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs deleteEvent safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Claude MCP x Google Docs, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For deleteEvent, this is the rule to start with:
deleteEvent is removed from the agent's tool list entirely, so the agent never calls it. The rest of the server keeps working.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Claude MCP x Google Docs, apply this rule, and every deleteEvent call is checked against it from then on.
