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

```json
{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",

## Why gcp_secrets_delete is rated Critical

This tool permanently removes secret data from Google Cloud Secret Manager. Deletion of secrets is an irreversible action that cannot be undone, making it destructive. The blast radius is critical because secrets typically contain sensitive credentials, API keys, and authentication material whose loss or exposure could compromise system security, cause service outages, or enable unauthorized access.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'gcp_secrets_delete' and description 'Delete a secret' indicate irreversible deletion of secret data."

## Use case

AI agents call gcp_secrets_delete to permanently remove resources in GCP 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 GCP MCP Server:

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