What delete_event does on iCloud CalDAV MCP Connector

AI agents call delete_event to permanently remove resources in iCloud CalDAV MCP Connector — typically in cleanup and lifecycle workflows. It does its job in a single call, and there is no undo.

Why delete_event needs a policy

This tool permanently removes calendar events without possibility of reversal. While not financial in nature, it causes irreversible data loss and has a high blast radius if an AI agent mistakenly deletes important calendar events (meetings, reminders, schedules). The Destructive category applies to actions that cannot be undone, and calendar event deletion meets this criterion.

From the tool's definition Tool description explicitly states 'Delete a VEVENT by UID from the given calendar.' The term 'Delete' combined with calendar event removal indicates irreversible data destruction.
