## Why delete-browser is rated Critical

The 'delete-browser' tool performs an irreversible operation that removes a browser profile (and likely its associated data, settings, and fingerprint configuration). This falls under Destructive rather than Write since the operation cannot be undone. Severity is high because deleting browser profiles could affect workflows, test data, or user configurations.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'delete-browser' strongly indicates irreversible deletion of a browser profile. While the description is empty, the sibling tools on this server manage browser profiles and fingerprints, and deletion is inherently irreversible."

## Use case

AI agents call delete-browser to permanently remove resources in AdsPower LocalAPI MCP Server, typically in cleanup and lifecycle workflows. It does its job in a single call, and there is no undo.

## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer)
