WHAT IT DOES

What delete_event does on Calendar

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

RISK

Why delete_event is rated Critical

The tool permanently removes calendar events without possibility of recovery through normal means. While not as critical as financial or system-level data deletion, calendar events represent user commitments and plans. Accidental or malicious deletion could cause significant disruption to business operations, meetings, and personal schedules. The destructive nature places it above Write or Execute categories.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'delete_event' with description 'Deletes an event.' directly indicates irreversible removal of calendar data.

Attacks that exploit this kind of access

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs delete_event safely

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Calendar, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For delete_event, this is the rule to start with:

delete_event Hidden

delete_event is removed from the agent's tool list entirely, so the agent never calls it. The rest of the server keeps working.
