## Why delete_message is rated Critical

This tool permanently deletes messages, which is an irreversible action that destroys data. Even though it has restrictions (only messages from the user within a ~48 hour window), the core functionality is destructive in nature. The fact that deletions are confirmed 'for everyone' amplifies the impact, as it affects other users' access to the message.

From the tool's own definition: "The tool description explicitly states 'Delete message for everyone' and operates on message data that cannot be recovered. The tool is designed to irreversibly remove messages from a messaging platform."

## Use case

AI agents call delete_message to permanently remove resources in Automagik Tools, 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 Automagik Tools:

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