## Why youtube_delete_video is rated Critical

Deleting a YouTube video is a destructive action that cannot be undone. Video metadata, comments, and view history are permanently removed. While it may not affect other users' data directly, it causes permanent loss of the creator's content and constitutes an irreversible operation.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name explicitly states 'delete_video' and description confirms 'Delete a YouTube video'. This is an irreversible deletion operation."

## Use case

AI agents call youtube_delete_video to permanently remove resources in ScopeGate, 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 ScopeGate:

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