# delete_stream

Deletes a stream, specified by the provided resource 'name' parameter. * The resource 'name' parameter is in the form: 'projects/{project name}/locations/{location}/streams/{stream name}', for example: 'projects/my-project/locations/us-central1/streams/my-streams'. * This tool returns a long-running operation. Use the 'get_operation' tool with the returned operation name to poll its status until it completes. Operation may take several minutes; do not check more often than every ten seconds.

## Parameters

| Parameter | Type | Required | Description |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `name` | string | yes | Required. The name of the stream resource to delete. |
| `requestId` | string | no | Optional. A request ID to identify requests. Specify a unique request ID so that if you must retry your request, the server will know to ignore the request if i |

Parameters from the server's own tool schema.

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

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

## Why delete_stream is rated Critical

This tool permanently deletes a stream resource from Google Cloud Datastream. Deletion operations are inherently irreversible and destructive. The high severity reflects the blast radius: an AI agent with misuse could delete production data pipelines, interrupting critical data replication workflows. The confidence is high because the intent is unambiguous from both the name and description.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name is 'delete_stream' and description states 'Deletes a stream' with no reversibility mentioned. The operation removes a Google Cloud Datastream resource by name, which is an irreversible action that cannot be undone."

Risk signals: Bulk/mass operation — affects multiple targets

## Use case

AI agents call delete_stream to permanently remove resources in Mcp, 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 Mcp:

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