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

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

## Why delete_user is rated Critical

Deleting a user is irreversible and removes associated data (enrollments, progress, potentially orders and payment history). This constitutes permanent, unrecoverable data destruction affecting business operations and user records. An AI agent misusing this tool could cause severe harm by deleting active users, instructors, or administrators, making this a critical-severity action.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'delete_user' and description 'Delete a user from the Thinkific site' explicitly indicate permanent removal of user data."

## Use case

AI agents call delete_user to permanently remove resources in Thinkific MCP Server, 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 Thinkific MCP Server:

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

## For agents

This record is a snapshot. Live verdicts and the full registry:

- Check every server in your MCP config at once: `npx -y policylayer stack`
- Vet a server before you add it: install the mcp-precheck skill — `npx skills add https://policylayer.com` (skill text: https://policylayer.com/skill.md)
- Query the registry over MCP: endpoint `https://api.policylayer.com/mcp` — tools `check_mcp_server`, `check_mcp_stack`, `check_tool`, `search_registry`, `get_change_events`
