## Why discord_delete_channel is rated Critical

Deleting a channel is a destructive action that cannot be undone without manual recovery, destroying all messages and channel history associated with it. While not as severe as deleting an entire server, it represents significant data loss. Severity is high rather than critical because impact is scoped to a single channel, but confidence is very high due to clear destructive semantics.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name explicitly states 'delete_channel' and description confirms 'Delete a channel.' This is an irreversible deletion operation."

## Use case

AI agents call discord_delete_channel to permanently remove resources in Discord 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 Discord MCP Server:

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