## Why pt_defederate is rated Critical

Purging cached videos and defederating an instance are irreversible actions that permanently remove data and break established connections. Although the tool is queued and requires operator confirmation (mitigating factor), the core operation is destructive. This is more severe than Write (which is reversible) because purged data cannot be recovered automatically.

From the tool's own definition: "'block + unfollow + purge cached videos from a remote instance' — the tool irreversibly purges cached data and severs federation relationships, effects that cannot be undone without manual intervention."

## Use case

AI agents call pt_defederate to permanently remove resources in Crow, 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 Crow:

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