## Why transkribus_coll_delete is rated Critical

Deletion of a collection is an irreversible destructive operation that cannot be undone. It destroys data at scale (all documents and metadata within the collection). This matches the Destructive category definition: 'irreversibly deletes or overwrites data, or actions that cannot be undone.' Severity is high because the blast radius is a complete collection of documents, though not financial in nature.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name explicitly states 'delete' and description states 'Delete a collection by ID' — this irreversibly removes an entire collection and its contents."

## Use case

AI agents call transkribus_coll_delete to permanently remove resources in Transkribus, 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 Transkribus:

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