## Why delete_data_connection is rated Critical

This tool irreversibly deletes data connection configurations, which cannot be undone and impacts dependent queries and dashboards. While not directly destroying user data, it destroys infrastructure that feeds analytics and reporting systems. Destructive is the appropriate category as this is a permanent removal operation.

From the tool's own definition: "The tool name is 'delete_data_connection' and the description explicitly states it 'Delete[s] a data connection.' This is an irreversible deletion operation that removes infrastructure/configuration."

## Use case

AI agents call delete_data_connection to permanently remove resources in Deloc, 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 Deloc:

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