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

```json
{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "id": 1,
  "method": "tools/call",
  "params": {
    "name": "deleteFolder",
    "arguments": {
      "folderId": "<folderId>"

## Why deleteFolder is rated Critical

deleteFolder performs irreversible data destruction. The recursive nature and comprehensive scope (folders AND all nested documents) make this a destructive action that could permanently erase significant portions of the company knowledge base. While not financial in nature, the potential loss of critical documentation, plans, and organizational knowledge represents high severity.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool description states 'Delete a folder recursively, including all nested folders and documents' — this is an irreversible deletion operation that cannot be undone and has broad blast radius (affects folder hierarchy and all contained data)."

## Use case

AI agents call deleteFolder to permanently remove resources in Stable Baseline, 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 Stable Baseline:

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