## Why browser_cookie_delete is rated Critical

The tool name explicitly includes 'delete', which strongly implies it removes cookies irreversibly. Cookies may store session tokens, authentication data, or user preferences. Deleting them cannot be undone without re-setting them, placing this in the Destructive category.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'browser_cookie_delete' — 'delete' suffix indicates irreversible removal of cookie data"

## Use case

AI agents call browser_cookie_delete to permanently remove resources in Playwright, 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 Playwright:
