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

```json
{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "id": 1,
  "method": "tools/call",
  "params": {
    "name": "delete_asset",
    "arguments": {
      "asset_ids": []
    }
  }
}
```

## Why delete_asset is rated Critical

The tool performs irreversible deletion of assets, which is the defining characteristic of the Destructive category. Once deleted, the assets cannot be recovered and dependent displays will break. This represents high severity because multiple displays could be affected simultaneously, creating a significant blast radius if an AI agent misuses this tool by deleting assets it should not have.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name is 'delete_asset' and description explicitly states 'Deletes one or more assets' with the irreversible consequence that 'Displays referencing deleted assets will show broken images.' This is a permanent deletion operation."

Risk signals: Handles credentials or secrets (access_token)

## Use case

AI agents call delete_asset to permanently remove resources in agentView, 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 agentView:

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