WHAT IT DOES

What Delete_Permission does on Files Com

AI agents call Delete_Permission to permanently remove resources in Files Com, typically in cleanup and lifecycle workflows. It does its job in a single call, and there is no undo.

RISK

Why Delete_Permission is rated Critical

Deleting a permission irreversibly removes access rights and cannot be undone without manual intervention to recreate the permission. This is a destructive operation that permanently alters system state. While not a financial transaction, the high severity reflects that unauthorized deletion of permissions could lock out legitimate users or expose resources.

From the tool's definition Tool name is 'Delete_Permission' and description states 'Delete Permission'. The verb 'Delete' combined with the action of removing permissions indicates irreversible modification of access control state.
