# delete_slide_element A destructive tool on the Mcp Google Docs MCP server. Agent View of the PolicyLayer registry record for `delete_slide_element`. HTML page: https://policylayer.com/tools/dev-ithitchhiker-mcp-google-docs/delete-slide-element ## Facts - Tool: `delete_slide_element` - 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_slide_element", "arguments": {} } } ``` ## Why delete_slide_element is rated Critical The 'delete' operation in the name indicates this tool removes slide elements from a presentation irreversibly. This cannot be undone programmatically by the tool itself, making it Destructive rather than Write. While the blast radius is narrower than deleting entire files, deletion of slide content elements constitutes irreversible data loss. From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'delete_slide_element' contains 'delete', indicating removal of data. The server manipulates Google Drive and presentation documents. No description provided, but the operation name explicitly signals irreversible deletion." ## Use case AI agents call delete_slide_element 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_slide_element" ] } ``` ## 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_rows` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/dev-ithitchhiker-mcp-google-docs/delete-rows.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.
