## Example call (MCP tools/call, JSON-RPC 2.0)

```json
{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",

  "method": "tools/call",
  "params": {
    "name": "transkribus_doc_delete",
    "arguments": {}

}
```

## Why transkribus_doc_delete is rated Critical

The delete operation cannot be undone and results in permanent loss of the document and associated data. While not financial or execution of arbitrary code, the data loss is significant and irreversible, placing it in the Destructive category with high severity due to the potential blast radius if an AI agent mistakenly deletes important documents.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name explicitly states 'delete' and description confirms 'Delete a document from a collection' — this irreversibly removes data."

## Use case

AI agents call transkribus_doc_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_doc_delete"
  ]
}
```
