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

```json
{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",

  "method": "tools/call",
  "params": {
    "name": "delete_collection",
    "arguments": {}

## Why delete_collection is rated Critical

This tool permanently removes a collection and its contents, which cannot be undone. Deletion is irreversible and results in loss of data. While not financial in nature, the destructive impact—especially if an AI agent mistakenly deletes an important collection—justifies the Destructive category and high severity. Confidence is high because the intent is explicit in both name and description.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name is 'delete_collection' with description 'Delete a collection'. The verb 'delete' indicates irreversible removal of data."

## Use case

AI agents call delete_collection to permanently remove resources in Postman, 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 Postman:

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