Deletes a GCNV managed volume in the specified storage pool.
AI agents call gcnv_volume_delete to permanently remove resources in Google Cloud NetApp Volumes MCP Server — typically in cleanup and lifecycle workflows. It does its job in a single call, and there is no undo.
Deletion of storage volumes is an irreversible destructive operation that permanently removes data and infrastructure. This is more severe than Write (which is reversible) and meets the Destructive category definition.
From the tool's definition Tool name contains 'delete' and description states it 'Deletes a GCNV managed volume' — this irreversibly removes storage data and the volume resource itself, which cannot be undone.

Register the Google Cloud NetApp Volumes MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for gcnv_volume_delete: allow, deny, rate-limit, or require approval. Point your MCP client at the PolicyLayer proxy URL and the rule is enforced on every call, before it reaches Google Cloud NetApp Volumes MCP Server. Nothing to install.
gcnv_volume_delete is a Destructive tool with critical risk. Critical-risk tools should be blocked by default and only enabled with explicit human approval.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the gcnv_volume_delete rule in your PolicyLayer policy. For example, setting max: 10 and window: 60 limits the tool to 10 calls per minute. Rate limits are tracked per agent session and reset automatically.
