Deletes a policy by its ID.
AI agents call delete_policy to permanently remove resources in Privy MCP Server — typically in cleanup and lifecycle workflows. It does its job in a single call, and there is no undo.
This tool permanently removes a policy configuration that likely controls access rules and security settings for wallet operations. Deletion of policies is irreversible and could disable critical security controls protecting blockchain transactions. While not directly moving funds, it could enable subsequent financial harm by removing guardrails.
