Delete a worksheet (tab) from a spreadsheet.
AI agents call delete_worksheet to permanently remove resources in Google Connections — typically in cleanup and lifecycle workflows. It does its job in a single call, and there is no undo.
This tool permanently removes a worksheet and all its contents from a Google Sheets file. Data deletion is irreversible and cannot be undone through normal means, satisfying the Destructive category definition. Severity is high because a single misuse could destroy significant amounts of user data, though the blast radius is typically limited to one worksheet rather than an entire system.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'delete_worksheet' combined with description 'Delete a worksheet (tab) from a spreadsheet' indicates irreversible deletion of data. The verb 'delete' is explicit, and worksheets are containers of tabular data that cannot be recovered once removed.
