# asc_delete_app_store_version

DELETE an App Store version. Allowed only when the version is in an editable state (PREPARE_FOR_SUBMISSION, *_REJECTED, INVALID_BINARY, DEVELOPER_REMOVED_FROM_SALE). The tool pre-checks the state with one GET and refuses client-side for frozen states (under review) or live states (READY_FOR_SALE — would orphan customers; release-pending — Apple rejects).

## Why asc_delete_app_store_version is rated Critical

This tool permanently deletes an App Store version, which is an irreversible operation that destroys data and configuration. While the tool includes safeguards to prevent deletion of live versions (READY_FOR_SALE) or versions under review, it still allows deletion of versions in editable states. Deletion of an app version—even in a preparatory state—cannot be undone and represents data destruction.

From the tool's own definition: "The tool name contains 'delete' and the description explicitly states 'DELETE an App Store version.' The description confirms this is an irreversible operation: 'DELETE an App Store version.'"

## Use case

AI agents call asc_delete_app_store_version to permanently remove resources in Appstoreconnect Mcp, typically in cleanup and lifecycle workflows. It does its job in a single call, and there is no undo.

## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer)

```json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
