Moves a Gmail message to Trash. This is the same as clicking Delete in the Gmail UI — reversible from the Trash folder for 30 days. Not a permanent delete.

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

## Why trashMessage is rated Critical

Although technically recoverable within 30 days, moving messages to trash is an irreversible data removal action in the immediate sense—messages disappear from the inbox and standard view. An AI agent calling this tool without proper safeguards could delete user messages that the user did not intend to delete, causing data loss.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'trashMessage' combined with description 'Moves a Gmail message to Trash' — explicitly performs deletion action."

## Use case

AI agents call trashMessage 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.

## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer)

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

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