# delete_rows Delete rows from a google sheets spreadsheet. Agent View of the PolicyLayer registry record for `delete_rows`. HTML page: https://policylayer.com/tools/dev-ithitchhiker-mcp-google-docs/delete-rows ## Facts - Tool: `delete_rows` - Server: Mcp Google Docs (`dev-ithitchhiker/mcp-google-docs`) — https://policylayer.com/tools/dev-ithitchhiker-mcp-google-docs.md - Homepage: https://github.com/dev-ithitchhiker/mcp-google-docs - Risk category: Destructive (Critical risk) - Registry record: grade F, identity unverified - Server rate-limited: no - Parameters: 0 - Recommended policy verdict: Hidden ## Example call (MCP tools/call, JSON-RPC 2.0) ```json { "jsonrpc": "2.0", "id": 1, "method": "tools/call", "params": { "name": "delete_rows", "arguments": {} } } ``` ## Why delete_rows is rated Critical This tool permanently removes data from a spreadsheet without possibility of reversal through the tool itself. While deletions in Google Sheets may have version history recovery, the tool's function is fundamentally destructive. The high severity reflects that an AI agent could inadvertently delete critical business data, customer records, or other important spreadsheet content. From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'delete_rows' combined with description 'Delete rows from a google sheets spreadsheet' explicitly performs irreversible deletion of data." ## Use case AI agents call delete_rows to permanently remove resources in Mcp Google Docs, 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 Google Docs: ```json { "version": "1", "default": "deny", "hide": [ "delete_rows" ] } ``` ## Other tools on Mcp Google Docs (54) - `delete_columns` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/dev-ithitchhiker-mcp-google-docs/delete-columns.md - `delete_document` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/dev-ithitchhiker-mcp-google-docs/delete-document.md - `delete_presentation` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/dev-ithitchhiker-mcp-google-docs/delete-presentation.md - `delete_slide_element` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/dev-ithitchhiker-mcp-google-docs/delete-slide-element.md - `delete_table_column` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/dev-ithitchhiker-mcp-google-docs/delete-table-column.md - `delete_table_row` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/dev-ithitchhiker-mcp-google-docs/delete-table-row.md - `get_document_details` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/dev-ithitchhiker-mcp-google-docs/get-document-details.md - `get_presentation_details` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/dev-ithitchhiker-mcp-google-docs/get-presentation-details.md - `get_sheet_data` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/dev-ithitchhiker-mcp-google-docs/get-sheet-data.md - `list_files` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/dev-ithitchhiker-mcp-google-docs/list-files.md - `list_sheets` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/dev-ithitchhiker-mcp-google-docs/list-sheets.md - `search_slide_elements` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/dev-ithitchhiker-mcp-google-docs/search-slide-elements.md - `add_columns` — Write — https://policylayer.com/tools/dev-ithitchhiker-mcp-google-docs/add-columns.md - `add_image_to_slide` — Write — https://policylayer.com/tools/dev-ithitchhiker-mcp-google-docs/add-image-to-slide.md - `add_line_to_slide` — Write — https://policylayer.com/tools/dev-ithitchhiker-mcp-google-docs/add-line-to-slide.md - `add_rows` — Write — https://policylayer.com/tools/dev-ithitchhiker-mcp-google-docs/add-rows.md - `add_shape_to_slide` — Write — https://policylayer.com/tools/dev-ithitchhiker-mcp-google-docs/add-shape-to-slide.md - `add_sheet` — Write — https://policylayer.com/tools/dev-ithitchhiker-mcp-google-docs/add-sheet.md - `add_slide_notes` — Write — https://policylayer.com/tools/dev-ithitchhiker-mcp-google-docs/add-slide-notes.md - `add_slide_to_presentation` — Write — https://policylayer.com/tools/dev-ithitchhiker-mcp-google-docs/add-slide-to-presentation.md - `batch_update_cells` — Write — https://policylayer.com/tools/dev-ithitchhiker-mcp-google-docs/batch-update-cells.md - `copy_file` — Write — https://policylayer.com/tools/dev-ithitchhiker-mcp-google-docs/copy-file.md - `create_chart` — Write — https://policylayer.com/tools/dev-ithitchhiker-mcp-google-docs/create-chart.md - `create_document` — Write — https://policylayer.com/tools/dev-ithitchhiker-mcp-google-docs/create-document.md - `create_presentation` — Write — https://policylayer.com/tools/dev-ithitchhiker-mcp-google-docs/create-presentation.md - `create_spreadsheet` — Write — https://policylayer.com/tools/dev-ithitchhiker-mcp-google-docs/create-spreadsheet.md - `create_spreadsheet_from_existing` — Write — https://policylayer.com/tools/dev-ithitchhiker-mcp-google-docs/create-spreadsheet-from-existing.md - `create_spreadsheet_from_template` — Write — https://policylayer.com/tools/dev-ithitchhiker-mcp-google-docs/create-spreadsheet-from-template.md - `create_table_in_document` — Write — https://policylayer.com/tools/dev-ithitchhiker-mcp-google-docs/create-table-in-document.md - `create_table_with_content` — Write — https://policylayer.com/tools/dev-ithitchhiker-mcp-google-docs/create-table-with-content.md - …and 24 more: https://policylayer.com/tools/dev-ithitchhiker-mcp-google-docs.md ## For agents This record is a snapshot.
